Afghan special forces soldiers who fought alongside American troops and then fled to Iran after the United States’s withdrawal from Afghanistan last year are now being recruited by the Russian military to fight in Ukraine, the Associated Press news agency has reported.

Three former Afghan generals told the AP the Russians want to attract thousands of the former Afghan soldiers into a “foreign legion” offering a steady, $1,500-a-month salary and promising a safe haven for themselves and their families so they can avoid deportation home to what many assume would be death at the hands of the Taliban.

“They don’t want to go fight — but they have no choice,” said one of the generals, Abdul Raof Arghandiwal, adding that the dozen or so soldiers in Iran with whom he has texted fear deportation most.

“They ask me, ‘Give me a solution? What should we do? If we go back to Afghanistan, the Taliban will kill us.’” Arghandiwal said the recruiting is led by the Russian mercenary force Wagner Group.

The recruitment comes as Russian forces reel from Ukrainian military advances and Russian President Vladimir Putin pursues a sputtering mobilisation effort, which has prompted hundreds of thousands of Russian men to flee the country to escape service.

Russia’s Defence Ministry did not respond to a request for comment.
