An independent UN international commission investigating violations in Ukraine has published compelling evidence that Russia is recruiting citizens from 29 countries worldwide into its armed forces using deception and coercion. The results of this investigation were reported by the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defence.
The Russian side coordinated the actions of intermediaries who lured men with fictitious job offers and organised their relocation. Upon arrival, the recruits were required to sign military contracts. In many cases, the "recruits" had their passports and phones confiscated, and refusal to sign was accompanied by threats or actual violence.
It has been documented that foreigners who do not speak Russian and often lack proper military training do not understand the terms of the signed documents. Despite written guarantees that they would not participate in combat operations, such individuals were sent to the front line.
In one such group of 30 men, 17 were killed, five went missing, and one returned after being wounded. Investigators also recorded beatings, threats of murder, and the use of drones to prevent mercenaries from retreating.
The GUR noted that the cost of Russian recruitment is increasingly evident in prisoner statistics. According to Ukrainian intelligence, dozens of citizens from 18 African states are already in Ukrainian captivity, and their number is only growing.
Intelligence officers add that recruitment does not provide foreigners with even basic guarantees. Intermediaries lose contact, relatives cannot obtain information about their loved ones, and promised payments and compensation become unattainable.
