Russia has found a way to expand its power.

Russia has found a way to expand its power, but the road is a bit wild. Kadyrov called on the leaders of every region in Russia to recruit 1000 volunteers to fight in Ukraine, so as to prove their willingness to help the country. Crimean leader statement: resolutely support! Russian Wagner boss personally went to the prison to recruit prisoners as mercenaries to fight in Ukraine.

15 In September, Kadyrov appealed to the leaders of every Russian region (governors/autonomous regions * * and leaders of China) to recruit at least 1000 volunteers from every region to fight in Ukraine, which is only a small number. However, Russia has 85 federal entities, with a total of 85,000 troops. It is possible for Russia to end its military operations in Ukraine as soon as possible.

Kadyrov stressed that regional leaders should not only express their support for the country through oral speeches, but also express their support through concrete actions to help the soldiers, so as to prove that they are willing to help the country.

Ak Senov, the leader of Crimea, responded positively to Kadyrov's appeal, saying that Crimea has sent more than 1200 volunteers to the Ukrainian battlefield, and two other battalions are being set up.

For various reasons, Russia can't carry out national general mobilization and open conscription, so it can only solve the problem of insufficient troops through conscription. As early as June, Russia had recruited volunteers in every region of the country, that is, each region had to recruit a battalion of volunteers, with about 400-550 people in each battalion.

Senior engineers have been recruiting volunteers for more than three months, and some areas have done well, such as Chechnya and Crimea. However, conscription has not been completed in most areas, mainly because young Russians are generally unwilling to join the army, even in remote towns and rural areas. Volunteers recruited are generally older, mostly 40-60 years old.

The recruitment of a battalion of volunteers has not been completed in most parts of Russia, and the Russian army on the battlefield is very short of people, especially infantry. Kadyrov is really anxious and can't sit still, so he will appeal to his colleagues, that is, the leaders of every region in Russia to recruit volunteers. He also put moral shackles on these colleagues-using such actions to prove that he is patriotic and willing to help the country tide over the difficulties.

Prigozin, the boss of Wagner Mercenary Company in Russia, personally went to Russian prisons to recruit prisoners as mercenaries. He said: "We are not armed forces, but real paramilitary armed groups. If you walk out of here with me, you will either go back to your hometown as a free man or you will die. You must obey the leader's orders and kill the enemy. Those who turn around will be shot on the spot. "

What are the benefits of prisoners joining Wagner mercenaries? Prigozin means high salary and freedom: get a salary of 6.5438+10,000 rubles, and there are additional rewards-almost the same as salary, adding up to about 200,000 rubles. If he died "with dignity" in the battle (meaning that he did not surrender or become a deserter), his family received compensation of 5 million rubles; If you lose your arm or leg in battle, or suffer other serious injuries and cannot continue fighting, Wagner will pardon you, restore your freedom and pay compensation within six months.

Prigozin stressed to the prisoners that after joining Wagner mercenary company, if these four situations happen: escape, robbery, alcoholism and drug abuse, they will be shot immediately.

Russian media Verstka reported that since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Wagner has recruited more than 1000 prisoners in 17 prisons in Russia 18 regions. Conscription is not compulsory, but many prisoners volunteered to join Wagner Mercenary Company to fight in Ukraine.

Russia is short of soldiers and it is impossible to mobilize the whole country for conscription. Kadyrov's call for recruiting volunteers in various regions and Wagner's recruitment of prisoners from prisons as mercenaries have become two main ways for Russia to solve the shortage of troops, and they are also forced to do so. Although the population of Russia is nearly four times larger than that of Ukraine, Russian young people are generally unwilling to join the army to fight, and there are not many people who can really go to the battlefield in Ukraine. Many Ukrainians are willing to join the army out of the belief of defending their country and defending their country. Tens of thousands of new recruits have been trained by NATO military instructors in Britain, Poland and other countries and have returned to China to participate in the war. This is also an important reason why there are more and more Ukrainian troops and fewer Russian troops.
