De la rețelele de socializare la prima linie: canalul de recrutare externă al Rusiei

Russia is recruiting foreign citizens for its war in Ukraine through a coordinated digital campaign, exploiting vulnerable individuals. An investigation by the European External Action Service revealed a network of deceptive advertisements and websites targeting potential recruits globally. Many individuals are misled into believing they are applying for non-military jobs, only to find themselves forced into military service. The Kremlin's tactics have drawn criticism for exploiting economic desperation, likening the recruitment process to human trafficking. Ukrainian initiatives aim to counter these recruitment efforts by encouraging desertion and exposing deceptive practices.
