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.
Anyone got a proper list where from Ruzz is recruiting, apart from the RF? So far I got :
Update! : According to @Tuukka R, Somalians have been spotted and @pdqcp shared a link that states that mercs from at least 48 countries have reported for Ruzz recruitment center in Moscow as per march 2025.
Add: They are normally lied to by enrollment people, to get a Russian student's visa and or for menial-, maintenance-, or campwork. Promised like us$ 2000 - 3000 per month, which in their currency is lots of money. Then send to the frontlines within a week, where their lifeexpectancy is max 3 weeks or so.
Africa: Cameroon and 2 other countries?
Seen several occurrences of Somalians fighting for the Russia.
I don't really know, hence the question.
Info hasn't been great , but according to this other comment there were people from 48 countries. Updated my comment tnx.
In Apr/25, at least 48 countries based on a leak from Moscow's medical database, see:

Great info article tnx. Updated
Just more fertilizer in the end.
About 3 weeks' worth.
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.
Hey, beats fighting their own idiotic war! Ha ha!
