Could be both. I mean there are a lot of foreign soldiers in Russian side fighting for money ( Those from Nepal for example ). But yeah those who sided with Ukraine can be called Merc as well, since a lot of them volunteered to fight for money, or for something else. So using "Mercenaries" for both sides foreign soldiers isn't wrong at all.
I have a story. There was a cat who flew from Ireland with a group to go fight for RUS. The contract had to be verbally translated. The two English pups signed off, they knew what they were getting into. They went out to train. The Irish kid, haha, the translater, told him "Next week, we go to Bakhmut.", jokingly. That Irish kid just Noped out of there. Didn't sign, grabbed his gear and Fd off. That became a joke after that "The Bakhmut Express".
I think when signing the contract they were told not to advertise their participation in the war in Ukraine. If you are forced to talk about your participation, then say that you were forced or deceived, so as not to have problems with the law in your homeland.
Yes, that a big problem in western media. They just translate it false to make the news they wanted. They also do this when they translate russian/ukrainian
The Chinese soldier Lee you mentioned is a unique one, he's just there to experience the war. He's not for the money, not for the citizenship, he doesn't even care if Russia or Ukraine wins the war, he just wants to know what's the wars he read in history books are really like.
My friend once remarked about his father's memories from Bosnia war as a fighter of republic of Srpskaarmy (Vojska Republike Srpske) and he remembered certain Japanese volunteer who fought in his unit.@@qqqq-df4ss
@@qqqq-df4ss I believe he is already dead, I saw in another Hispanic channel a Colombian and Spanish soldiers of his unity mentioned that he died in the combat zone, the place was not specified because they're still in the combat zone and they don't want to be geo located

Yeah. It's like Ukrainian soldiers being held captive by Russia. Ukrainians say that they did not fight, they were cooks, drivers, hairdressers, just maintenance staff😂
British had an advantage as they ruled the sub-continent for 200 years and they know how to deal with locals including language and also locals more or less follow command in English. Nepalese Gurkhas are still legally allowed to join the Indian army which has a Gurkha regiment in their ranks.
Speaking of being duped by military recruiters: ask US soldiers how many of them were lied to. Unfortunately lying to recruit soldiers is the norm worldwide.

Эм, не уверен, что на данный момент хоть в каком-то уголке необъятной России найдётся настолько тупой гой, который подумает, что __не будет воевать__, а будет сторожить склад. Это бред. Провинция идёт, потому-что платят огромные по их меркам деньги от 220к₽ в месяц + до 50к₽ выплаты от регионов (от 2,3k$ + до 550$ дополнительных выплат соответственно) деньги весомые даже для Москвы или Питера. Ко всему этому идут бессмысленные социальные льготы. Не самого умного человека из нищей деревне возьмут в самый топовый вуз, если у него батя на сво (он там не задержится, да, но сам факт.) Кроме того, по крайней мере в Москве точно, предусмотрены выплаты в 500к₽ в год для пожилых родителей и предоставления им дом работницы на энное . (5к$) в общем, никто не обманется охраной гаража в зоне сво такими ценниками - люди идут туда добровольно. Поэтому всем Россиянам в целом уже давно похуй на войну. Наша жизнь радикально не поменялась, только игры теперь тяжелее покупать и оригинальная кока кола подорожала. Обратный пример - это Украина где для военнослужащих ничего не предусмотрено - ни денег, ни социальной помощи. Поэтому там люди уже вахуе с размаха могилизации. А в России последствия войны хоть как-то ощущаются только в приграничных областях, когда дроны прилетают украинские по городам. В целом, без существенных изменений такую войну мы можем не замечать ещё лет 8 точно, если деньги не кончатся у правительства. Но, конечно, я уповаю на скорейшей мир.
the serbs have been fighting on the side of the russians against the ukrainians since the beginning of the rebellion in donbas and the serbs are well trained with war experience, many of them are members of wagner as well as akhmat, on many clips of the war fighters you can see the serbian flag together with the russian and chechen one. Serbs don't go to Russia for money, they live in Russia like their brothers.
As a Russian, I can tell that there are NO 150-140 USD salaries here, that's just bullshit. Even the least-paying jobs start at 300 USD, and that goes for the lowest-requirement jobs outside of major cities. Even as a taxi driver, you can earn more. As mentioned in the video, army contractors are paid over 2000 USD, which is a lot for many regions, but is also an average salary in Moscow and St. Petersburg. So either the Somalian at the end of the video was massively scammed or he's just lying. Also, look up Russian army requirement posters - there is no way in hell one could confuse them with a security job, not to mention that the recruitment process is carried out strictly at military commissariats by military people, so there is no way you do not know what you are signing up for. I can understand people lying to save their lives after being captured, but these are still lies.
There are literally videos of Indians who were "fighting" for Russia because they were scammed. It was on Indian news and everything. Even Modi talked about it when he was in Russia to meet the Putin.
Maybe he was part time working cause he is Somalian and doesn't speak Russian and even his english was not that great, he doesn't look particularly fit also, so i think he would got problems even find jobs in construction. Indeed peoples captured will rewrite the story, better not say to Ukrainians you joined Russia to fight natsies lol. Sometimes i have secret desire to join Russian army as french lol even for us 2200 dollar is good because median french salary is1800€. But same time going to war you haveto be ready to die, but i feel so bad that the all world want to fight Russiai sometimes think it would be a nice way to say f*ck *ff to my stupid government. I know there wass some french volunteers in the DPR and LPR armies and honestly i was very proud of them. I remenber seing an interwiew of a french guy in Marioupol saying he was used to war and was fighting since 2014 i hope he is still alive.
>2000 USD, which is a lot for many regions, but is also an average salary in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Average salary is 175 000 RUB? 😂 You need to check your head with your doctor. Median (not average) salary in Moscow (capital city mind you) is $570

As a Chinese, I found your source at 13:41 has a problem. There is Chinese in the video: "海外影视合法拍摄，均为道具切勿模仿", means “Legal filming of overseas films and TV series, all are props, please do not imitate". Therefore it's just a kind of cosplay and filming to support Russia in media, not actually going to combat.
I’m not so sure about that, china has heavy censorship on video of actual war footage or showing of weapons, etc. so ppl add those message on their video even tho they are real in order to by pass that censorship.
@@dashwill8515 that Chinese phrase is the standard legal disclaimer you put on the end of any fiction story. It's similar to the boilerplate on the end of English Language films that goes "The characters and events depicted in this motion picture are entirely fictitious.

I agree. HistoryLegend is not good at anything related to Chinese/china. His last video about china&taiwan was really bad. The sources he used were not solid at all. (I grew up in Taiwan)
Yeah but this is a war where people die.. survivorship bias can also apply in that the people giving interviews are also the lucky ones. There are people who are dead and rotting away in trenches after suffering worse than any living deserter has experienced. I wouldn't expect to hear cheerful stories about how nice the front line is. What do people expect when they sign up for a war? especially when they don't even have military experience, dont speak the language nor understand the contract they sign?
They are mercs for Ukraine, not Russia. How do we know? If these foreign mercenaries were truly fighting for Russia, Ukraine would NOT be blurring out their faces. Zero reason to do so. The fact that their faces are blurred out tells me these foreign mercenaries are fighting for Ukraine, not Russia. If they were fighting for Russia, Ukraine would have no issue exposing their faces. The only logical reason for the blurred faces is they don't want anyone who knows the mercs to see the video and identify them as someone fighting for Ukraine and not Russia, which would collapse the propaganda they're putting out

Greetings from a soldier of the 155th Marine Brigade! Interesting video! I don't quite agree. About 1 thousand guys from different countries are fighting in our brigade: Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Latvia, Estonia, Czech Republic. All Slavs, brothers. Yes, there is a problem with English-speaking fighters; it’s hard for them to learn Russian. There are no problems with Africans and African Americans, but they study poorly, and war will not wait. My observations
@purple-25377nowadays you can open a bank account online in russia where you get paid, another in georgia to transfer the money from russia and then from georgia to the EU. There s videos here on youtube that explain the process. I believe Eli from russia had one.
A Russian ordinary volunteer soldier receives more than $ 2 thousand per month, and young officers receive more than 4 thousand, older officers receive much more. Foreigners receive about the same salaries, there are generally no such amounts of 150-200 dollars, it's just ridiculous.

I've got a friend in Nepal who signed up to fight in Russia, even after I had told him how dangerous it was. That was towards the end of last year. I spoke with him when he was on a military base in Russia, then his phone went dead for ages. Thank god, he phoned me a month or so back... he survived! He had gone home for some R&R and said he wasn't going to go back. He said that most of his friends had died 😢. He had gone to the frontline 5 times in the 6 months he had been fighting! Drones are the worst apparently... they are constantly attacking with them. He has some crazy stories! Edit after watching your video: he had over a month of training, he also had been in the Nepalese army all his life. He went for $$$. He also said Russia would win, but it will be bloody and long.

then again its extremely easy these days to change the contract´s language to any deepL/google translate supported language you want, and print that out. i think russian ministry even have those languages ready, they have full time translators on payroll on any country doing ready-to-be-printed documents. to keep all documents in russian is to obfuscate of what they are signing. if you cant understand what you are signing ,it is not a valid contract in international labor agreements, or even in russian court. the russian ministry itself is breaking russian law if they really offer contracts in russian language only.
Being a mercenary is a choice and you know the risk but money outweighs the risks. I was a security contractor/ mercenary after I left the army so I don’t feel bad for mercenaries because we do it for profits and sometimes we don’t make it to the next paycheck.
When I joined the army I expected to be sent to dangerous places where i might be killed or injured, and I expected to see horrible sights. I was not disapointed, yet some soldiers complain about it as though it came as a complete surprise! When you join the army, common sense should tell you what might happen and what to expect. I was lucky and got through it all almost without a scratch, but I have no sympathy for the veterans who complain and have nightmares about it. What did they expect? As for mercenaries, why is it OK for Britain, France, Spain and numerous other countries to employ mercenaries, but not Russia? I dont understand why it is OK for us but not for them.

There's a lot of Serbs fighting for the Russians. But they don't do it for money and they want to be on the front line. For them it's ideology, respect and maybe even a bit of pay back. They also know Russian and aren't taking selfies and giving away positions by calling home and complaining about how hard it is.
Russia doesn't actively need foreign volunteers. Most of the people from third world countries are duped by falling for unscrupulous middle men who get them hooked up with a Russian pmc contract. Most of the Nepalese who went there were hired for a trench digging contract. If Russia actually required manpower I am sure a request from the government would find millions of volunteers from Asia and Africa willing to join the RUAF. Can't say the same about Ukraine though. Despite throwing good money funded by American taxpayer dollars, Ukraine is not able to put together fresh recruits in it's foreign legion.

According to Dejan Beric, a former major in the DPR/Russian army who began as a Serbian volunteer in 2014, the largest number of volunteers in the Russian army comes from former Yugoslavia, particularly from Serbia and Bosnia (Republic of Srpska), as they have some understanding of the Russian language. He estimated their count to be equivalent to 2 battalions. After some incidents with Russian officers, they were separated into different units under Chechen command. Foreign fighters are separated into different units because Ukraine prioritizes targeting mercenary units and doesn't hold back on ammunition to hit them. However, this separation also creates issues with translators in case of non Russian speajers, so some Russian field commanders see non-Russian-speaking volunteers as a inconvenience and sometimes assign them to the most dangerous tasks. It is true that volunteers receive 2 weeks of training with the possibility to extend it to 4 weeks upon request. If volunteers have no experience in some military special roles they are often assigned as storm troops, trench troops, or in the role of guarding forward positions. Some casualties have resulted from ammunition depot detonations. He mentioned 2 KIA and large number of light wounded people from Balkan mostly caused by drones. According to Dejan, the Russian army is most in need of volunteers with artillery experience. There are videos of some Serbian volunteers working on artillery. After 6 months on the front, they are offered Russian citizenship, not only for the soldiers but also for their families. The contract was initially for 6 months but has been extended to a one-year contract since 2023.
Looks like the Ukrainian and Russian foreign mercenaries had the same expectations. They thought fighting in the war would be an act of glory or pride, but they learned the truth what war really is.

Ukraine has received almost 108 billion euro ($115.9 billion), including 39 billion euro ($41.8 billion) of military aid from the EU since February 2022. The US' Ukraine expenditures have so far reached $175 billion, of which $107 billion directly aided the Kiev regime, with $34.2 billion being disbursed for budget needs, and another $69.8 billion spent on arms and military assistance. After all, you're paying for it all," the journalist remarked.
At 23.46 Is that me or the guy on the right really look like you? As usual great job Alex. So many good informations. You are the number one source for me concerning that conflict. So much disinformation everywhere else.
I mean let's be honest though Russia probably has less than 2000 foreign volunteers and these people who say they do not know what they were getting into I do not believe whatsoever. Everyone knows what the military is and unless you've been an absolute recluse then everyone knows what's going on in Ukraine. So these people saying that they joined but didn't know they were going to go to the front or they thought this or that why would Russia just give citizenship for you to hang out in the rear. Russia is not the country that needs for and volunteers. That is Ukraine. If I'm not mistaken at one point I believe Ukraine had 200,000 or 400,000 foreign volunteers which again Russia had about 2,000 so do the math.
The first thing you have to do after you go to the "Voinomat" is to have a long interview byu the FSB before declared safe, not a threat/saboteur/spy and eligible to join the Armed Forces... then you have to go through such a bunch of paperwork and then some 3 months in a tent in the training aarreas in Russia.. I've seen friends from my neighborhood who made a YT video showing it all while they were making barbecue so the'vee shoved how the tents and all looks and functions.. pls watch the documentary "Sniper's War" ... a legend from nearby
I was in the central recruitment office in Timirezevskaya in Moscow last Tuesday (I'm English) and the place was filled with foreigners from Asia. During the interview I had, I was told of the dangers but you have no idea what you'll be doing until the end of your training. Some might enter hoping to be a cook or a driver but is taught on heavy weapons or smth.
@Cryptid71 >"I believe Ukraine had 200,000 or 400,000 foreign volunteers" your believe is too far off... it could be from 30k....but less then 100k; yet....
At 15:58, if I'm not mistaken the Russian dude appeared on a Patrick Lancaster video explaining about the Akhmat forces duties and volunteers joining the Russian Army.
When mercenaries captured by Ukrainians or relatives of dead foreigners say that they were deceived into fighting, I can’t believe it, they all knew perfectly well where they were going, why they were going and signing a contract. The prisoners need to soften their attitude towards themselves, plus they are under pressure from the military propaganda of Ukraine, because they need to say bad things about Russia on camera. Much the same applies to the relatives of the victims; nosy journalists, in search of a sensation, are ready to go to great lengths, including paying for an interview with the right set of words. There are also relatives of those who were sincerely against their relatives going to fight, even for money.
This seems like a pretty insignificant topic to cover. Not very interesting and not very impactful on the war. Still, good to dispel the western exaggerations, I suppose.
Highly likely, when signing the contract, they were told not to advertise their participation in the war in Ukraine. If you are forced to talk about your participation, then say that you were forced or deceived, so as not to have problems with the law in your homeland.

Because it is different :) You need to learn slang in two years
Could be both. I mean there are a lot of foreign soldiers in Russian side fighting for money ( Those from Nepal for example ).
But yeah those who sided with Ukraine can be called Merc as well, since a lot of them volunteered to fight for money, or for something else. So using "Mercenaries" for both sides foreign soldiers isn't wrong at all.
some kind of racism
The moral for a lot of these stories is: If you can't read the contract, don't sign it.
facts LOL
But there is also, once you get captured, you make up stories to make you look stupid. Don't ask how I know 😉😄
Exactly, even tho you can ask for a translator or using smart phone to see it in your own language!
I have a story.
There was a cat who flew from Ireland with a group to go fight for RUS. The contract had to be verbally translated. The two English pups signed off, they knew what they were getting into. They went out to train. The Irish kid, haha, the translater, told him "Next week, we go to Bakhmut.", jokingly. That Irish kid just Noped out of there. Didn't sign, grabbed his gear and Fd off.
That became a joke after that "The Bakhmut Express".
I think when signing the contract they were told not to advertise their participation in the war in Ukraine.
If you are forced to talk about your participation, then say that you were forced or deceived, so as not to have problems with the law in your homeland.
Nepali Dude says “khanpin pani ramrai thiyo” that means food was good. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 but the translation says there was no food. 😂😂😂

Эм, не уверен, что на данный момент хоть в каком-то уголке необъятной России найдётся настолько тупой гой, который подумает, что __не будет воевать__, а будет сторожить склад. Это бред. Провинция идёт, потому-что платят огромные по их меркам деньги от 220к₽ в месяц + до 50к₽ выплаты от регионов (от 2,3k$ + до 550$ дополнительных выплат соответственно) деньги весомые даже для Москвы или Питера. Ко всему этому идут бессмысленные социальные льготы. Не самого умного человека из нищей деревне возьмут в самый топовый вуз, если у него батя на сво (он там не задержится, да, но сам факт.) Кроме того, по крайней мере в Москве точно, предусмотрены выплаты в 500к₽ в год для пожилых родителей и предоставления им дом работницы на энное . (5к$) в общем, никто не обманется охраной гаража в зоне сво такими ценниками - люди идут туда добровольно.
Поэтому всем Россиянам в целом уже давно похуй на войну. Наша жизнь радикально не поменялась, только игры теперь тяжелее покупать и оригинальная кока кола подорожала.
Обратный пример - это Украина где для военнослужащих ничего не предусмотрено - ни денег, ни социальной помощи. Поэтому там люди уже вахуе с размаха могилизации. А в России последствия войны хоть как-то ощущаются только в приграничных областях, когда дроны прилетают украинские по городам.
В целом, без существенных изменений такую войну мы можем не замечать ещё лет 8 точно, если деньги не кончатся у правительства. Но, конечно, я уповаю на скорейшей мир.
the serbs have been fighting on the side of the russians against the ukrainians since the beginning of the rebellion in donbas and the serbs are well trained with war experience, many of them are members of wagner as well as akhmat, on many clips of the war fighters you can see the serbian flag together with the russian and chechen one.

As a Russian, I can tell that there are NO 150-140 USD salaries here, that's just bullshit. Even the least-paying jobs start at 300 USD, and that goes for the lowest-requirement jobs outside of major cities. Even as a taxi driver, you can earn more. As mentioned in the video, army contractors are paid over 2000 USD, which is a lot for many regions, but is also an average salary in Moscow and St. Petersburg. So either the Somalian at the end of the video was massively scammed or he's just lying. Also, look up Russian army requirement posters - there is no way in hell one could confuse them with a security job, not to mention that the recruitment process is carried out strictly at military commissariats by military people, so there is no way you do not know what you are signing up for. I can understand people lying to save their lives after being captured, but these are still lies.
There are literally videos of Indians who were "fighting" for Russia because they were scammed. It was on Indian news and everything.
Even Modi talked about it when he was in Russia to meet the Putin.
Maybe he was part time working cause he is Somalian and doesn't speak Russian and even his english was not that great, he doesn't look particularly fit also, so i think he would got problems even find jobs in construction. Indeed peoples captured will rewrite the story, better not say to Ukrainians you joined Russia to fight natsies lol.

There is Chinese in the video: "海外影视合法拍摄，均为道具切勿模仿", means “Legal filming of overseas films and TV series, all are props, please do not imitate". Therefore it's just a kind of cosplay and filming to support Russia in media, not actually going to combat.
I’m not so sure about that, china has heavy censorship on video of actual war footage or showing of weapons, etc. so ppl add those message on their video even tho they are real in order to by pass that censorship.

They are mercs for Ukraine, not Russia. How do we know? If these foreign mercenaries were truly fighting for Russia, Ukraine would NOT be blurring out their faces. Zero reason to do so. The fact that their faces are blurred out tells me these foreign mercenaries are fighting for Ukraine, not Russia. If they were fighting for Russia, Ukraine would have no issue exposing their faces. The only logical reason for the blurred faces is they don't want anyone who knows the mercs to see the video and identify them as someone fighting for Ukraine and not Russia, which would collapse the propaganda they're putting out

Yeah! Getting money and then not following the contract, saying you're the victim here. How typical...
then again its extremely easy these days to change the contract´s language to any deepL/google translate supported language you want, and print that out. i think russian ministry even have those languages ready, they have full time translators on payroll on any country doing ready-to-be-printed documents. to keep all documents in russian is to obfuscate of what they are signing. if you cant understand what you are signing ,it is not a valid contract in international labor agreements, or even in russian court. the russian ministry itself is breaking russian law if they really offer contracts in russian language only.
Being a mercenary is a choice and you know the risk but money outweighs the risks. I was a security contractor/ mercenary after I left the army so I don’t feel bad for mercenaries because we do it for profits and sometimes we don’t make it to the next paycheck.
American?
Depends those lying about being somali are actually Ethiopians sent by their govt
When I joined the army I expected to be sent to dangerous places where i might be killed or injured, and I expected to see horrible sights. I was not disapointed, yet some soldiers complain about it as though it came as a complete surprise! When you join the army, common sense should tell you what might happen and what to expect. I was lucky and got through it all almost without a scratch, but I have no sympathy for the veterans who complain and have nightmares about it. What did they expect? As for mercenaries, why is it OK for Britain, France, Spain and numerous other countries to employ mercenaries, but not Russia? I dont understand why it is OK for us but not for them.

There's a lot of Serbs fighting for the Russians. But they don't do it for money and they want to be on the front line. For them it's ideology, respect and maybe even a bit of pay back. They also know Russian and aren't taking selfies and giving away positions by calling home and complaining about how hard it is.
Russia doesn't actively need foreign volunteers. Most of the people from third world countries are duped by falling for unscrupulous middle men who get them hooked up with a Russian pmc contract. Most of the Nepalese who went there were hired for a trench digging contract.
If Russia actually required manpower I am sure a request from the government would find millions of volunteers from Asia and Africa willing to join the RUAF. Can't say the same about Ukraine though. Despite throwing good money funded by American taxpayer dollars, Ukraine is not able to put together fresh recruits in it's foreign legion.

you covered almost everything in this video, i'm not going to say anything about numbers because i don't know the numbers !
but i can add some info about some stuff (only about Sri Lanka)
the shady recruitments are mostly done by other Sri Lankans, and most of these people think they are joining the Russian army and some think they are just going to be doing logistics, but the thing is some of them are getting tricked in to joining small PMC's and they think they are in the Russian military
the ones who are in the PMC's are the ones who get beaten etc.
but most are going to Russia knowing they can get killed but they are doing it for the citizenship and the money, for a ex-military person working in SL they could make about Rs 40,000 a month (about USD 130) working as a security guard but you can't do anything with that money (my internet with a 2MB download/upload speed cost me Rs 3,800 a month) so this money is good !
Im srilankan . My father is also fighting but in the ukrainian side he is actually getting paid more that the guys who went to russia .also he is ex special forces and also worked around multiple countries

According to Dejan Beric, a former major in the DPR/Russian army who began as a Serbian volunteer in 2014, the largest number of volunteers in the Russian army comes from former Yugoslavia, particularly from Serbia and Bosnia (Republic of Srpska), as they have some understanding of the Russian language. He estimated their count to be equivalent to 2 battalions. After some incidents with Russian officers, they were separated into different units under Chechen command. Foreign fighters are separated into different units because Ukraine prioritizes targeting mercenary units and doesn't hold back on ammunition to hit them. However, this separation also creates issues with translators in case of non Russian speajers, so some Russian field commanders see non-Russian-speaking volunteers as a inconvenience and sometimes assign them to the most dangerous tasks. It is true that volunteers receive 2 weeks of training with the possibility to extend it to 4 weeks upon request. If volunteers have no experience in some military special roles they are often assigned as storm troops, trench troops, or in the role of guarding forward positions. Some casualties have resulted from ammunition depot detonations. He mentioned 2 KIA and large number of light wounded people from Balkan mostly caused by drones. According to Dejan, the Russian army is most in need of volunteers with artillery experience. There are videos of some Serbian volunteers working on artillery. After 6 months on the front, they are offered Russian citizenship, not only for the soldiers but also for their families. The contract was initially for 6 months but has been extended to a one-year contract since 2023.
Looks like the Ukrainian and Russian foreign mercenaries had the same expectations. They thought fighting in the war would be an act of glory or pride, but they learned the truth what war really is.
Ukrainians don’t pay their volunteers
I think most did it for the money on the russian side.
Serbian volunteers are very good soldiers.

Russia is not the country that needs for and volunteers. That is Ukraine. If I'm not mistaken at one point I believe Ukraine had 200,000 or 400,000 foreign volunteers which again Russia had about 2,000 so do the math.

When mercenaries captured by Ukrainians or relatives of dead foreigners say that they were deceived into fighting, I can’t believe it, they all knew perfectly well where they were going, why they were going and signing a contract. The prisoners need to soften their attitude towards themselves, plus they are under pressure from the military propaganda of Ukraine, because they need to say bad things about Russia on camera. Much the same applies to the relatives of the victims; nosy journalists, in search of a sensation, are ready to go to great lengths, including paying for an interview with the right set of words. There are also relatives of those who were sincerely against their relatives going to fight, even for money.
This seems like a pretty insignificant topic to cover. Not very interesting and not very impactful on the war. Still, good to dispel the western exaggerations, I suppose.
A for attempt but c'mon man, nobody will change their minds. After all it's all just Russian propaganda and the media tells the truth!
Highly likely, when signing the contract, they were told not to advertise their participation in the war in Ukraine.
If you are forced to talk about your participation, then say that you were forced or deceived, so as not to have problems with the law in your homeland.
Then the US pilots who formed the flying tigers were also mercenaries.
