Summary
Russia has reportedly recruited hundreds of Yemeni fighters to bolster its forces in Ukraine, promising high wages and Russian citizenship, according to the Financial Times.
Recruitment was facilitated by a company linked to Yemen’s Houthi rebels, amid growing ties between Russia and Iran-backed groups.
The move reflects Moscow’s reliance on foreign fighters to sustain its war effort, which has seen heavy casualties due to “meat grinder” tactics.
Similar reports have detailed recruitment of fighters from Syria and Nepal, alongside Russian reliance on mercenaries like the Wagner Group.
When has an entity in history been 100% good or 100% bad? I fail to see how their history is relevant to their current actions.
Take a cue from Norman Finkelstein
Conscripting child soldiers are their current actions.
Which is why I condemn both them and Israel.
You, apparently, feel that they do not deserve to be condemned despite both putting children on battlefields and fighting alongside Russia in Ukraine because they also oppose Israel.
