The UK Ministry of Defense has revealed in its latest update on the war in Ukraine that Russia is "exploiting foreign nationals" as part of its recruitment drive.
Since June, Russia has been appealing to citizens from neighboring countries with recruitment ads for people to fight in Ukraine. Online ads have been spotted in Armenia and Kazakhstan.
It is also said that Uzbek immigrant builders in Mariupol had their passports confiscated upon arrival and were forced to join the Russian army.
According to the data, there are at least six million migrants from Central Asia in Russia "whom the Kremlin is likely to see as potential recruits".
Since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, Putin has suffered heavy losses in the ranks of the army, which has forced him to launch several recruitment campaigns, most of which are compulsory for certain ages.
These movements forced many Russian men to flee their country to neighboring countries in the hope of escaping conscription that would send them to certain death on the front lines of the ill-armed and ill-trained front.
