Defence Intelligence of Ukraine informs that the aggressor state of russia is recruiting mercenaries in Syria to take part in hostilities against Ukraine.

Training is taking place on Syrian territory near the city of Aleppo and the “Kuweires” airfield.

The first batch ― about 1,000 mercenaries ― is undergoing training with an emphasis on conducting combat operations in urban areas.

Upon completion of the training, the Syrian mercenaries will be transported to the Khmeimim airbase, and from there ― to the territory of the russian federation.

Upon arrival in russia, they are issued russian passports and then mobilized into the occupation army.

Syrians are first promised jobs as security guards at oil refineries in Yakutia, and then lured to “better-paid jobs” in Buriatia.

In the city of ulan-ude, the certified mercenaries will be mobilized to the 5th separate guards tank brigade of the russian armed forces (military unit 46108) and will take part in combat operations in Ukraine.

The recruitment of Syrians for the war indicates a deterioration in the moral and psychological state of the russian occupation forces due to large-scale losses and the need to replenish them for further meaty assaults.
