Russian army recruiting forces from Central Asian countries - Ukraine
[Jpost] Foreign recruits are being offered financial incentives, as well as Russian citizenship, if they enlist in the Russian Armed Forces.

Russia’s military is running enlistment campaigns in Central Asian countries Uzbekistan,
...88% Sunni Muslim...
Tajikistan
...98% Muslim, almost entirely Sunni...
and Kyrgyzstan
...90% Muslim...
as the number of Russians willing to fight in Ukraine decreases, Ukraine's intelligence service (GUR) claimed.
So it might be true.
Foreign recruits are being offered financial incentives, as well as Russian citizenship if they enlist in the Russian Armed Forces.

Additionally, GUR purports that young men from rural areas in Chechnya,
...95% Muslim...
Russia are being kidnapped by Ramzan Kadyrov's Chechen forces and forced to fight in service of Russia’s war efforts in Ukraine – causing discontent among Chechen citizens, who GUR says are outraged by the fact that Kadyrov is sending Muslims to participate and die in a "foreign" war.

Russia has reportedly been using mercenaries from Libya and Syria in their initiatives in Ukraine, according to the US Defense Department. The transcript quotes a senior defense official saying that the Wagner Group militia "has been operating in the Donbas and that they have recruited from places like Syria and Libya and that they use Syrian and Libyan fighters."

GUR also reported in March that Syrian President Bashar Assad has promised to provide up to 40,000 militants to the Russian Federation for the war in Ukraine.

#4 Russia refreshing troops day by day requires large numbers. Skilled directing. Ukraine however hasn't got the depth so best fielding are lost.The untrained will suffer heavy losses. Especially on open ground. Russia controls the air and artillery with massive shelling. Russian attention is on NIKOPOL(if memory serves me correctly) main source of shelling by Ukraine on Nuclear site. Today's the day they say for Shelling of Nuclear plant.

#5 Assuming this is true, when the Ukraine situation is over, the surviving new Russian citizens will want to return to their new nation ... with all their old habits, none of which involve Christianity. Still, if rumours about President Putin’s really poor health are also true, that future won’t be his problem to solve.
