The Yemenis are being promised Russian citizenship and high salaried employment
-
Russia is recruiting hundreds of mercenaries from Yemen via a mysterious Houthi-linked company to fight its war against Ukraine, according to a report. These men are reportedly brought to Russia by a shady trafficking operation.
Just like how Indians and Nepalis were lured into Russia's war machine, the Yemenis too are being promised Russian citizenship and high salaried employment, according to the Financial Times. On arrival in Russia, they are forcibly inducted into the Russian army before being sent to the front lines in Ukraine.
This comes as reports claim over 12,000 North Korean men have arrived in Russia to combat against Ukrainian forces in the Russian province of Kursk.
