Russia wants to recruit citizens of neighboring countries and economic migrants from Central Asia into its military units.
In the latest statement, British military intelligence pointed out that Russia has been targeting citizens of neighboring countries through recruitment advertisements since the end of June this year. In the advertisements on the Internet, observed in Armenia and Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation offers 495,000 jobs. rubles to start and salaries from 190 thousand. ruble. In the communications, the Russian authorities refer, among other things, to the ethnic Russian population.
Earlier, Moscow had also asked economic migrants from Central Asia to fight in the war in Ukraine, promising a speedy citizenship procedure and a fixed salary. “Uzbek migrants in Mariupol reportedly had their passports confiscated upon arrival and were forced to join the Russian army,” the UK defense ministry said in a statement.
There are at least six million Central Asian migrants in Russia, whom the Kremlin likely sees as potential recruits. Russia wants to avoid further unpopular internal mobilization measures ahead of the 2024 presidential election. The deployment of foreigners will allow the Kremlin to recruit additional personnel for its war effort in the face of rising casualties.
War in Ukraine
The new phase of the war in Ukraine has been going on for over a year. On February 24, 2022, Russian troops invaded Ukrainian territory. The invasion was preceded by the Kremlin’s demand for NATO to rule out the possibility of further expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance and the reduction of the Alliance’s military potential in Central and Eastern Europe to its pre- 1997.
Since the end of March 2022, when Russian troops withdrew from the northern front, after the failure of the campaign in the Kiev region, the front line took shape with minor changes in the southern and eastern directions. Russian forces are attempting to take full control of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, which together form the region known as the Donbass.
Currently, fighting is taking place in various parts of this region.
