Kremlin Turns To Laos For Troop Support In Ukraine War. by Botragelad(op): 3:51pm On Jul 06, 2025
Russia is seeking support from Laos for its war against Ukraine, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) reported on July 5.

In a Telegram post, the Defense Intelligence Directorate said Moscow has reached out to the Southeast Asian nation as part of its wider effort to recruit foreign assistance. Russia has already drawn mercenaries from Africa and Asia and deployed military units from North Korea. Now, it is courting so-called “partners” under the guise of humanitarian projects near the Ukrainian border.

Specifically, Russia is looking to bring in engineering units from the Laotian People’s Army to help with demining efforts in Kursk Oblast, near Ukraine’s northeastern border. According to Ukrainian intelligence, up to 50 Laotian sappers could be sent.

Laos is also reportedly providing free support to Russia by organizing rehabilitation programs for wounded Russian soldiers who fought in Ukraine.

Ukrainian intelligence said that under the cover of humanitarian aid, the Kremlin is trying to normalize the presence of foreign military personnel on its territory and, in effect, use them to support combat operations.

HUR had previously reported on June 21 that Russia is forcibly mobilizing Central Asian nationals, luring them with promises of fast money and short-term contracts. Many of these so-called volunteers are quickly killed, Ukrainian officials said.

In April, Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi said Russia is growing its military by 8,000–9,000 troops per month through contract recruitment — totaling 120,000–130,000 annually.

By the end of 2025, the Kremlin hopes to add another 300,000 to 400,000 troops to its occupation force, Ukrainian lawmaker and national security committee member Fedir Venislavskyi said.

According to Putin fanboys, this war was supposed to be a walk in the park for Putin. What went wrong?
Re: Kremlin Turns To Laos For Troop Support In Ukraine War. by Seefinish: 8:41pm On Jul 06, 2025
Breeze don blow, fowl nyash don open. Putin underestimated Zelenskyy and now he is running around looking for mercernies around the world to help him fight Ukraine
Re: Kremlin Turns To Laos For Troop Support In Ukraine War. by Parydelegate: 8:57pm On Jul 06, 2025
Putin told us he will defeat Ukrain in 30days...this is more than 3 years and they are still fighting small Ukraine
Re: Kremlin Turns To Laos For Troop Support In Ukraine War. by franchasng: 8:58pm On Jul 06, 2025
Just take a look at how Putin has ridiculed Russia. Imagine Russia now befriending all the funny funny countries in the world just because he wants to deceive their Presidents with fake alliance to get cheap soldiers to fight his senseless war in Ukraine.



Why can't Putin just withdraw his troops from Ukraine and allow peace to reign?

Many people are quite delusional and accept misinformation without understanding the broader context. North Korea has a defense pact with Russia and willingly deployed troops. Ukraine, meanwhile, has relied on various foreign units like those from Georgia and the Foreign Legion, many of which have been heavily diminished. Ukraine’s military efforts are largely sustained by NATO support, but NATO’s resources have been significantly depleted. Despite being labeled as weak, Russia now controls 30% of Ukrainian territory, including areas linked to mineral rights agreements Ukraine had with the U.S.

This is what is meant by the hunter being the hunted

Could this be true though?
Re: Kremlin Turns To Laos For Troop Support In Ukraine War. by Chucks13: 9:00pm On Jul 06, 2025
Can't Putin just drop arrogancy and stop this unecessary war?
Re: Kremlin Turns To Laos For Troop Support In Ukraine War. by WritterNg: 9:01pm On Jul 06, 2025
Ukraine is fighting alone i guess

Laos + North Korea is equal to 40 NATO & EU nations sending tens of thousands of troops and $450 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine.. i guess 🤔

Poland alone sent Ukraine 18,000 troops. Meanwhile North Korea sent less than 8k troops but guess who's on the news 24/7?

That's very funny of Putin if he knows anything about Lao people; they barely want to leave their country for anywhere in the world. Poor and contented people.
Re: Kremlin Turns To Laos For Troop Support In Ukraine War. by omoredia: 9:02pm On Jul 06, 2025
This all lies and propaganda from the west. As if Ukraine have not also been looking for troops from the west

Watch as muzzie countries will refuse to enroll and prove their loyalty.

But when Israel starts pounding them, they will now run for support.

With America standing behind Ukraine it'll be very difficult for Russia to win Ukraine. America understand the art of war more than any other nations in world.

Chinese knows America too well and they're only praying for the war to continue so that American attention wouldn't be focused on Taiwan.

Desperate warmonger running short of war manpower. Look at the shame Putin brought upon the almighty Russia angry. His end is near. He must face trial for war crimes against Ukraine
Re: Kremlin Turns To Laos For Troop Support In Ukraine War. by bobbiiee: 9:05pm On Jul 06, 2025
War does not determine who is right or wrong. It only reveals who is left.
Re: Kremlin Turns To Laos For Troop Support In Ukraine War. by cyberbro: 9:06pm On Jul 06, 2025
China has a population of over 1.3B people and they're Russia's ally, so why is Kremlin turning to a country with a population of just about 8 million to give them soldiers?

A country with almost 150m people cannot fight their own war against Ukraine? Even if mercenaries are also in Ukraine, this means they are losing more soldiers than they're willing to admit.

All these Russia this, Russia that news you always see on front page are paid for to tarnish Russia's image. The good news is, most people now realize this and so don't bother about it. However, all these propaganda against Russia and Putin is a waste of time and money against those pushing it.

Re: Kremlin Turns To Laos For Troop Support In Ukraine War. by AfonjaPriest: 9:14pm On Jul 06, 2025
This is a good one from Russia.
A big boost to its victory.
Americans, Europeans, Africans, Australians and others have banded together to fight Russia.
Then what do you expect Russia to do?
Well, two can play this game.
Russia must get others to assist her in the war effort.
Or you've forgotten so soon Russia is the Master of the chessboard?
Oya na.
Dey play.

wait i am not part of the Africans that are fighting wars for Ukraine and Russia. Those Africans do not represent anyone they are just there for business. Africa has no part in the war, we have not defeated our insecurity to begin with.
