Russia is recruiting thousands of volunteers
To replenish its ranks in Ukraine: CNN
30 July, 15:23
(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUL 30 - Volunteer battalions are being
formed across Russia to join the so-called "special military
operation" declared by President Vladimir Putin in February, CNN
reported today. "From Murmansk in the Arctic Circle to Perm in
the Urals and Primorsky Krai in the Russian Far East, the call
has gone out, appealing to both the patriotism and the wallets
of Russians," CNN said. It is not always necessary to have
relevant military experience. In all, analysts assess that more
than 30,000 volunteers might be mobilized to supplement Russian
ranks depleted by five months of combat -- between one-quarter
and one-third of the force deployed to win the eastern Donbas
region, where the majority of volunteers would likely be sent.
