One of the main reasons for such large -scale recruitment is the lack of personnel in the Armed Forces. Both financial incentives and promises of Russian citizenship are used to attract mercenaries.

In addition, illegal migration and trading routes that take place in four main areas are used to transfer mercenaries:

  • Middle East – Iran – Armenia – Georgia – Russia
  • Middle East – Iran – Azerbaijan – Russia
  • Middle East – Iran – Central Asia – Russia
  • Afghanistan – Central Asia – Russia
  • In recent days, cases of detention of illegal migrants who have tried to cross the borders in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Central Asia have been recorded. Their correspondence indicates close coordination with the Russian side and receiving specific promises for participation in this process.

    Judging by photo documents, Iraqi citizen Amir Jvad was detained, born on December 23, 2006, who tried to illegally cross the territory of one of these countries. It is established that the mercenary was recruited by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to participate in the war against Ukraine.

    According to the available data, a citizen of Iraq on the proposal of an employee of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Polina Oleksandrivna concluded with the Ministry for entry into the ranks of the armed group “Baghdad”.

    Under the terms of the contract, the foreigner was initially promised a cash remuneration of $ 3,000 to $ 8,000, as well as the granting of Russian citizenship after six months.
