Hundreds of Serbian citizens have been contacted by Russia’s military services to fight as part of the Russian army in Ukraine. The British newspaper, The Guardian, writes that Moscow’s recruitment structure has created a special infrastructure to allow Serbian citizens to join the Russian army.

The newspaper publishes the story of a Serbian citizen who travels from Belgrade to the capital of Russia and after meeting with the Russian military, is sent to a recruitment center on the periphery of Moscow. In this recruitment department, there are other Serbian citizens who are treated by the military to participate in the war in Ukraine.

According to the testimony of the British newspaper, a Serbian citizen needs only a few hours after arriving in Moscow to be accepted as a recruit, after the verification of documents. The witness who saw the recruitment wards says that within a day he became a soldier of the Russian army and after the training he will be immediately sent to the front line of the war.

Contract that is signed with the Russian Ministry of Defense is 18 months and the payment depends on the ranks and the war front where he will be sent.

On the part of the Serbian authorities, there is no measure to stop the participation of another country in the war. Meanwhile, the Serbian media also write about several mercenaries killed since the start of the Russian attack on Ukraine.
