The war Russia is waging is far more complex than it may appear. Russia is seizing vast areas of Ukrainian territory—immense stretches of land that are difficult to even comprehend. To maintain control over these captured regions, they need substantial troop numbers, as well as additional forces to continue advancing. If Russia truly had sufficient manpower, they would already be pushing toward Kyiv.

Shehu Sani's post shares a photo of six Nigerian men in Russian military gear, likely in Ukraine, credited to "Mr Obiorah," spotlighting how economic desperation drives Nigerians to join foreign armies for better pay and opportunities.



https://x.com/ShehuSani/status/1978541529821024686?t=ItwIXcQYCsaFXiJae9Xf9A&s=19[/quote]NOBODY sent these so-called Nigerian guys to fight for Russia. They did it on their own volition so they should take full responsibility for their actions and inactions. Full stop.

These remnants of the lost cause in their country will be used as guinea pigs in a foreign land fighting a war that is neither theirs nor their ancestor

Most developed nations, Russia included, are running out of people, because not enough new citizens are being born

Already it is at crisis point in Japan and Korea. Infact, Japan and Russia both have the dubious statisitc of having more people dying than being born

Many nations, like the USA , solve the problem via more and more immigration....which is causing a lot of ruckus (If not for high levels of immigration, legal or not, USA would be at the same level as Japan and Russia..which is why some people are worried about trump's anti-immigration policy)

Russia isn't willing to take as many immigrants , Japan and South Korea are not very friendly to immigrants (Japan self is a country where white people feel discrimated against...loll. Also, Japanese and South Korean racisim is the kind that says that the 'blood must be pure
..no mixing).


Modified

Should point out that the demographic crisis too affects countries like Ukraine, which is why they have a foreign legion
too.

It's very serious. Some Europeans and Asians dismiss the problem, saying that lesser people means lesser strain on economies...however, as some point out, a population with elderly people in the majority, and too few young people working...means that taxes won;t be paid to fund pensions and services...whahala starts.

Russia also took a large hit in world war 2. It lost far too many young men in the war...and that has also affected population growth.
True that... Deep insights. The massive deaths from the Soviet Union's Gulags (or concentration camps) indeed made ethnic Russians to suffer huge human loses including the direct deaths from Nazi Germany's invasions of Soviet territories during WW2.

Russia is overated.

How can a superpower recruit mercenaries to fight for them?
Have you forgotten that the whole United States and NATO countries are funding Ukraine with weapons and also soldiers? Russia is fighting against United States, Europe and Ukraine. It definitely wouldn't be easy for Russia. Without the US and NATO Russia would have crushed Ukraine a long time ago.

I think Russian Ukraine war is between brothers, Russia will prefer to use mumus better known as useful idiots to continue the war, to minimize losing their own citizens

Mall Shehu Sani, you didn't specify whether they are Russian citizens or mercenaries recruited by the Russian government to fight on her behalf?

U don't know what Russia is fighting for....u should rather say Russia is fighting a NATO war and this I know.

Russia has tried if not,they would have been defeated by proxy because to u,it is Ukraine that is fighting,but in true sense of it,Russia is fight the Nato countries.

Give them the kudos for fighting a hard war.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

These are the only real jobs available under Tinubu’s regime,
I mean, the kind you can actually get without knowing anybody.

Not those flashy Friday announcements of “who’s who” children getting appointed to one government board or another.

And guess what these mercenaries will eventually become in Nigeria, when the Ukraine war is over.....Kidnappers and Insurgents....The cycle continues.

Are you aware this is modern practice standard?

In modern military practice is treated as 'business' and the best way to minimise Personnel Cost is the use of Contractors (Mercenaries)
It ensures availability of HR at minimal cost. It also ensures vital military know-how is not proliferated indiscriminately. It ensures vacancies are plugged immediately through outsourcing rather than going through the hard and lonely route of recruitment, training, team dynamics, briefing and debriefing.

Only very strong and highly organised militaries use this protocol, not weak forces as suggested by your comment!
