Africans recruited to work in Russia say they were duped into building drones for use in Ukraine

[Guipago]

Just read where there are shitloads of North Koreans working in Russian factories as well---are they taking the place of Russian boys sent to the frontline???

So these people are slave labor, unskilled working long hours in electronics, aerodynamics and weaponry, under surveillance but they managed to take a little time to do an interview with Western journalists in Russia, it must have been when the guard took a piss break. Or maybe the interviews were conducted via Skype:
"Associated Press writers Michael Biesecker in Washington and Jamey Keaten in Geneva contributed to this report."

It not fake dude, I know if something doesn’t confirm your bias you just disbelieve it because you have schizophrenic paranoia. Russia is famous for its leaks. All these people would have to do is bribe the right person really. Also Russia is doing this crap with soldiers too, luring them with fake promises.

Christopher Columbus Day Eric?

I didn’t even know it was lol

They are apparently. Putin doesn’t want to mobilize for more troops because recently a poll showed the war is getting less popular in Russia. So he is desperate i guess. Also I heard an argument from this dude I get Ukraine’s information from Jake Broe that this is also a political move, like idk if heard the story that NK blew up a bridge and railway line. He was saying that’s to scare people like NK is going to war with South Korea. To scare people in the west, there are people like this on this site, that think WW3 is about to begin. We don’t know though why he did this that’s as just his best guess.

You continue to project your intellectual misery onto others... Go take another bucket of pills.

Yet Ukraine has 20,000 mercenaries "paid volunteers" lol from 52 countries and we're supposed to be what exactly because nignogs and norks joined the party? Outraged? Clutching our pearls? Demoralised? I don't get it.

How 'bout looking at the "volunteers" Russia was using in Donbas & Luhansk before this invasion kicked off---you know about that one? Did you know that the majority of people in those two Oblasts didn't know why the Ukrainian Government was attacking them? They didn't know that their state Governors were trying to cede from Ukraine, all they were told was that the Ukrainian government was attacking them & the Russians were coming to help, lot of things people don't know about how this really kicked off. Ukraine has 20,000 from 52 countries of foreign mercenaries? Riiiiight.
If a country at war is importing labor because they haven't enough men to fill factory positions doesn't that say something about the losses they've incurred? Better get real about this---Russia IS losing a lot of men & they are still throwing men into it, Putin is in a 'Catch 22' situation of his own making, his SMO has turned around & bit him.

Clearly you are an Idiot. Also, by definition "volunteers" don't get paid. This is an article written specifically for idiots like you - who think foreigners don't get paid to be shot at, when actually they do and they're mercenaries by definition also, unless you think "signing a contract" for $3300 a month with Ukraine army just entitles you to a blanket and some stew - but you don't even read anything it seems, which makes this conversation pointless imo. It's like debating a child.

Clearly, you believe any shit you read, a Battalion has approx 800 troops, a Company has approx 120 troops, that makes about 25 Battalions from the 20,000, funny we haven't heard about alllllllllll these Battalions, only Chosen Company (I know there are more Companies out there) where are the rest? There are a shit load of tic tock wanna be's bullshitting about what they are---but very few real soldiers fighting, get a grip.

Cope harder idiot, you're falling into your own mouth. It's hard to believe you're this stupid. You're not contradicting me, you're contradicting the Ukrainian dick you suck.

HaHaHaHaHaHa You dickhead, you didn't even read what you put up, if you had you would have seen that other reports puts them at around 1500- 2,000, which, if you have your ear to the ground, is about right, like I said 'get a grip'

Where did you read this? It even seems that the people of Donbass when they saw the Ukrainian rockets in the air thought they were UFOs.
The Donbass as well as Crimea have been abandoned by the government since the independence of Ukraine, you can see this perfectly in the war videos how the cities are, it seems like they have stopped in time since 1980. The buildings are from the Soviet era, the infrastructures, everything . The people of Donbass are seen as persona non grata by the Ukrainian government, which is only interested in the region because of the raw materials and they did everything to make the population flee to Russia.
Can you show which source supports your statement?

20,000 fighters isn't that much if we compare it to the more than 1000 km of battlefront, I believe that at a certain point there were more, or do you think that Ukrainians who don't even speak English can operate complex systems like HIMARS?
And the mercenaries were not only in the foreign legion units, many of them fight or fought in mostly Ukrainian units as well, as in the Azov battalion, Kraken, right sector, etc., and there are still those who are in the rear training troops.

Honestly, I don't know if you have problems with discernment or if you're trying hard to troll.

Some of these morons claim Russia loses 1000 men per day -28,000 per month lol - for two years but they can't wrap their head around 20,000 mercenaries, half of which would be Polish. 😆

Chechens, other Caucus & Baltic states all had individuals join the Separatists, then there was Wagner in Crimea, Russian propaganda doco's, yes, I do watch those, all have reference to 'freedom fighters' coming to aid the Separatists AND these very pages, at that time, had bodies turn up from different countries, its a bit naive to think that guys pissed off with NATO & the US (like Serbs) wouldn't join a shit fight against them.
Mercenaries and militias – DW – 06/05/2014
Take note of the date.
Saying the Donbas & Crimea had been abandoned by the Ukrainian Government because they have Soviet era buildings is ridiculous, Russia still has all those same buildings all over its country & you call me a troll, your another that needs to 'get a grip'

You are deflecting and you didn't asnwer. How do you know that the Ukrainians in Donbass didn't know why they were being bombed by their own government?

After the clusterfuck between western ukrainians and ethnic russians in 2014 and you come with this shitty theory that the Russian/Ukrainians in Donbass were taken by surprise, as if they were hostages of the pro-Russians aka themselves and oblivious to reality.🤣

If you are not retarded, you must be showing signs of dementia, you should go to the doctor as soon as possible.

Of course the separatists had help...How do you think they got the weapons?

After the persecution of Ukrainians of Russian origin, where people were killed, the repression of Russian culture, clashes between separatists and the army and you come to me, with this shitty theory that the Russian/Ukrainians in Donbass were taken by surprise, as if they were hostages of the pro-Russians aka themselves? 🤣

Nothing deflective about it.
We were talking about Separatist mercenaries not how they were supplied with weapons, which, doesn't mean the supplying countries had 'mercenaries' on the ground, you change tact continually then accuse others of being deflective, better re-read what you write.

I know what I wrote, it seems like you don't.
Maybe I have to write your words, it's not the first time.

The Russians must have been there, serbs, etc... what's the point?
There are documentaries from the time that show this, people who volunteered because they had family living in Donbass or for ideological reasons. But there were a shitty number of them, so Mariupol was captured by the Nazi Azov battlalion, which was full of Western and Russian mercenaries linked to Nazi ideology.

In 2021 the separatists were losing the civil war and that's when Russia intervened.

Excerpt from AP:

‘The social media ads promised the young African women a free plane ticket, money and a faraway adventure in Europe. Just complete a computer game and a 100-word Russian vocabulary test.

But instead of a work-study program in fields like hospitality and catering, some of them learned only after arriving on the steppes of Russia’s Tatarstan region that they would be toiling in a factory to make weapons of war, assembling thousands of Iranian-designed attack drones to be launched into Ukraine.



In interviews with The Associated Press, some of the women complained of long hours under constant surveillance, of broken promises about wages and areas of study, and of working with caustic chemicals that left their skin pockmarked and itching.

To fill an urgent labor shortage in wartime Russia, the Kremlin has been recruiting women aged 18-22 from places like Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, South Sudan, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, as well as the South Asian country of Sri Lanka. The drive is expanding to elsewhere in Asia as well as Latin America.



That has put some of Moscow’s key weapons production in the inexperienced hands of about 200 African women who are working alongside Russian vocational students as young as 16 in the plant in Tatarstan’s Alabuga Special Economic Zone, about 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) east of Moscow, according to an AP investigation of the industrial complex.’

Yes. Sure. So only NOW we are caring about the Africans…
