The aggressor uses them mainly to storm Ukrainian positions.

"However, there is no easy money, and the price for war crimes is growing in Ukraine. Already 400 thousand liquidated Nazis of the Russian Armed Forces testify to this, but not personally," the National Resistance Center notes.

As reported, foreign students are being recruited into the army in Russia by blackmail.
