Moscow has turned to its neighbors to boost personnel numbers to avoid ordering a full-scale mobilization of the country.
Moscow has turned to appealing for volunteers from neighboring countries to boost its numbers in Ukraine as high battlefield losses plague both sides of the conflict, according to a new assessment.
In the 18-month-long war, both sides have suffered heavy casualties, but Russian authorities have so far been reluctant to initiate full-scale mobilization of the populace. In mid-September 2022, the Kremlin announced a partial mobilization of around 300,000 military reservists, but has not launched another drive since.
However, Moscow has been appealing to ethnic Russians in Kazakhstan's northern Qostanai region, with adverts popping up there and also in Armenia, offering more than $5,000 in initial payments and salaries starting at just under $2,000, the British Defense Ministry said. Armenia and Kazakhstan were republics under the former Soviet Union from the mid-1930s and gained independence following the collapse of the USSR in the early 1990s.
