‼️ Africans for $2,200 - Russia is intensifying the recruitment of mercenaries for the war against Ukraine
👥 The aggressor state Russia has significantly intensified the campaign to recruit foreign mercenaries for the war against Ukraine: it is about recruiting manpower in central Africa, in particular - in Rwanda, Burundi, Congo and Uganda.
✔️ A specially created unit of the Ministry of Defense of Russia deals with the recruitment of Africans for their participation in “meat” assaults on Ukrainian soil.
👉 Mercenaries are lured with an initial cash payment of $2,000 for signing a contract, a monthly security of $2,200, medical insurance, and a Russian passport for the soldier and his family members are promised.
❗️ We will remind you that earlier mercenaries from Nepal, recruited by Moscow for the war against Ukraine, deserted en masse from the occupation army due to numerous losses and the brutal treatment of Russian field commanders.
(*) the money is payed in Russian Rubles
I want to say something sarcastic, but this is fuckin heartbreaking. You know their life expectancy, and quality of life up until the day they get fed into the grinder, is near 0. Think of the desperate hope that someone might have signing up for something like this, and then… the result.
Hey at least they’re up front about it, even if it’s a comical asterisk footnote! I think a lot of African mercenaries will balk at being paid in anything other than USD.
