Russian military

Russia continues to recruit foreigners to fight in the war against Ukraine. Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service has obtained documents regarding at least eight Indonesian citizens who were recruited into the ranks of the Russian occupation army.

On the morning of August 27, a car exploded in the Slavyanka neighborhood of St. Petersburg; inside were a military officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel and his wife.

Russian security forces use a serial number system to identify foreign mercenaries recruited into the occupying army.

The level of corruption in the country is not decreasing, and bribery among top officials is actually on the rise. At the same time, the government is openly demonstrating a lack of political will to adequately combat such incidents, as evidenced by a number of unresolved issues.

On the night of July 25, bases occupied by the invaders in Kyrylivka on the coast of the Azov Sea were attacked; among the Russian security forces killed was an employee of “Roskomnadzor.”
