According to the project, Russia increasingly targets vulnerable populations from Asia, Africa and Latin America, including labor migrants, unemployed people and students. “Russia cannot sustain its war in Ukraine through voluntary domestic recruitment alone,” the project states. “So it has turned to the world’s most vulnerable populations.” According to the platform, Russian recruiters use fake job advertisements, fraudulent educational programs and local intermediaries to attract recruits before sending them to the front with minimal training. The project claims more than 28,000 foreign nationals have signed contracts with the Russian military through the “Hochu Zhit” (“I Want to Live”) initiative. At least 5,149 of them were confirmed killed, while thousands more remain missing, according to the website. “Hundreds of foreign nationals from 48 countries are currently held as prisoners of war in Ukraine,” according to thw the statement.
