Against the background of an acute shortage of personnel, Kiev is increasingly attracting "volunteers" from abroad.

Earlier, on September 17, the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia reported that military investigators had completed an investigation into 177 foreign mercenaries who took part in hostilities on the side of Ukraine. According to the ministry, mercenaries from various countries, including Georgia, Brazil, Colombia, Japan and others, are subject to criminal liability.
