Against the backdrop of a severe lack of manpower to participate in the war in Ukraine, Russia announced the recruitment of “volunteers”. In particular, the campaign began in the Oryol region. This was reported in a report dated August 10 by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
“The Oryol region will form a new volunteer battalion that will be sent to Donbass,” the document said, referring to the latest statement by the governor of the Oryol region.
It is reported that the unit accepts people at will from 18 to 60 years old, the “volunteers” are promised 250 thousand rubles upon signing a contract within three months.
The report also refers to the fact that the leader of the Chechen Republic, Kadyrov, has expressed his readiness to transfer up to 9,000 troops from Chechnya to Ukraine, and another 10,000 reservists are “waiting for their time.”
There are other messages in the report on this topic: the Uzbek embassy in Russia warned the Uzbek diaspora that any form of participation in the Russian invasion is punishable by up to ten years in prison. The embassy recalled that Uzbek law prohibits citizens from becoming mercenaries in combat, and warned Uzbeks to avoid any “provocations.”
Recall that from February 24 to August 10, the total losses of Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine amounted to approximately 42,800 people.
