Russia is forming groups of "military instructors" to be sent to Africa - DIU
The aggressor state of Russia is forming groups of so-called "military instructors" to be sent to Africa.
This was reported by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, Censor.NET reports.
They noted that Russians are also recruiting in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, in particular, in Crimea.
"Contracts are offered to military reservists of the Russian occupation army - specialists in the maintenance of Russian-made air defence systems, sailors and some other military and technical specialists.
The agreements are for several years with a monthly salary commensurate with the salaries of the Russian occupiers fighting against Ukraine," the statement said.
Mercenaries are attracted not only by high earnings, but also by the opportunity to avoid participation in the war against Ukraine, which involves high risks of death.
"Moscow sees the purpose of sending the relevant contingent as expanding its influence in Africa," the DIU added.
