This time, Russia is partnering with the Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen, who have helped the Kremlin orchestrate a shadowy trafficking operation to bolster their frontline ranks with Yemeni citizens. So far, hundreds of Yemeni men have been sent to the battlefields of Ukraine, a place they never intended to find themselves, according to an exclusive report from the Financial Times.
The Yemeni recruits were first approached by a Houthi-linked company back in July that offered them a new life in Russia, promising to help them secure high-paying manufacturing jobs and Russian citizenship. Upon arriving, however, the deception became painfully clear.
The recruits were quickly coerced at gunpoint into signing fighting contracts with the Russian military that they couldn't even read. They were then shipped off to hot zones in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, despite most having no military training to speak of.
Responding to the report, a senior Ukrainian defense official told Fox News, quote, For some time now, Russia has been working with mercenaries from all around the world, and all we can say for now is they are working with new countries, end quote.
