Anyone got a proper list where from Ruzz is recruiting, apart from the RF? So far I got :
South East Asia: India, Nepal, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, North-Korea, China etc
Africa: Cameroon , Somalia , Egypt, Ghana etc
LatAm: Cuba and probably Venezuela.
Update! :
According to @Tuukka R, Somalians have been spotted and @pdqcp shared a link that states that mercs from at least 48 countries have reported for Ruzz recruitment center in Moscow as per march 2025.
Add:
They are normally lied to by enrollment people, to get a Russian student's visa and or for menial-, maintenance-, or campwork. Promised like us$ 2000 - 3000 per month, which in their currency is lots of money.
Then send to the frontlines within a week, where their lifeexpectancy is max 3 weeks or so.
Also, an afterthought, is there anything Europe and Nato & Friends can do to stop this influx? Maybe targeted local Counter disinformation in hot-spot countries.
I know Ukraine does this already in situ via pamphlets, radio etc.
In summary, Russia has imported a bunch of North Koreans and Cubans to die in Ukraine, because Russian soldiers are getting killed at a faster rate than they can replace them.
They need foreigners to be replacement meat waves.

Whatever gets them out of Cuba i guess. Maybe a few lucky ones will even survive and be able to get resident status...
