Anyone got a proper list where from Ruzz is recruiting, apart from the RF? So far I got :

  • South East Asia: India, Nepal, Tibet,
  • North-Korea and probably China.
  • Africa: Cameroon and 2 other countries?
  • LatAm: Cuba and probably Venezuela.

Also, an afterthought, is there anything Europe and Nato & Friends can do to stop this influx? Maybe targeted local Counter disinformation in hot-spot countries.

I know Ukraine does this already in situ via pamphlets, radio etc.

In summary, Russia has imported a bunch of North Koreans and Cubans to die in Ukraine, because Russian soldiers are getting killed at a faster rate than they can replace them.

They need foreigners to be replacement meat waves.

Special Military Operation my ass.
