Kyiv • UNN
The Coordination Headquarters and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have launched a website to expose Russia's recruitment of foreigners. The identities of over 28,000 foreign mercenaries of the enemy have already been established.
The Coordination Headquarters, together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, are launching the information resource stoprussianrecruiters.org to expose the Russian system of recruiting foreigners for the war against Ukraine. This was reported by the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, according to UNN.
It is noted that the new resource will contain information about the schemes and scale of recruitment, the geography of the activities of Russian recruiters, as well as individuals working in the interests of the Russian Federation in various countries around the world.
The Coordination Headquarters reported that Russia is increasingly involving citizens of other states in the war, including labor migrants, the unemployed, and representatives of socially vulnerable groups from countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
"Deception, psychological pressure, and financial manipulation are used for this purpose," the report says.
Within the framework of the "I Want to Live" project, the identities of more than 28,000 foreigners who signed a contract with the Russian Armed Forces have already been established. According to the headquarters, at least 5,149 of them have died.
"This resource was created to warn potential victims of the Russian recruitment system, draw the attention of the international community, and facilitate the prosecution of individuals who send people to die in a war for the Kremlin's interests," the Coordination Headquarters emphasized.
It is also reported that hundreds of foreigners from over 48 countries are in Ukrainian captivity.
