The agency’s press service reports that the number of Russian citizens willing to go to war in Ukraine is decreasing. To at least partially maintain the ability to form new reserves, the Kremlin is increasingly trying to attract foreign citizens to the Russian Armed Forces.
It is reported that to form new army units, the leadership of the Moscow region has instructed military commissariat and police department employees to “conduct promotional activities” with citizens of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Those willing to fight in Ukraine are offered financial incentives and the opportunity to obtain Russian citizenship.
The Main Intelligence Directorate also reports that simultaneously in Chechnya, four battalions are being formed and trained for deployment to the war in Ukraine. A significant portion of the “volunteers” in the formed battalions consists of local young men abducted by Chechen security forces, mostly from rural areas. Under the threat of criminal prosecution on fabricated charges or torture, they are forced to sign contracts to participate in the war in Ukraine.
