A joint investigation by FIDH and partner organizations has documented Russia's recruitment of at least 27,000 foreign nationals from more than 130 countries since February 2022 to fight in Ukraine, with evidence of systematic deception, coercion, and exploitation of vulnerable migrant populations. The pipeline, which spans Central Asia, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia, uses false job promises, immigration threats, and financial incentives to funnel recruits into front-line combat roles — with casualty rates reaching 20 percent within the first four months of deployment.
