 Russia actively recruits migrant workers from Central Asia for war. Russia is actively recruiting migrant workers from Central Asia to send them to the war in Ukraine according to British Defence Intelligence. As the report states, Russian recruiters are visiting mosques and immigration offices to conduct recruitment. At immigration offices, staff who speak Tajik and Uzbek regularly attempt to recruit migrants. Radio Free Europe reports that recruiters offer sign-up bonuses of $2,390 U.S. dollars and salaries of up to $4,160 U.S. dollars per month. Migrants are also offered an accelerated procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship from six months to one year instead of the usual five years. These recruiters will most likely be sent to the Ukrainian contact lines where the casualty rate is extremely high, the report states. The recruitment of migrant workers is part of the Russian Ministry of Defence's attempts to meet its target of 400,000 volunteers to fight in Ukraine.
