hanan razek report. it has been over a month since russia invaded ukraine. the russian troops are advancing, but the ukrainian resistance is slowing them down, and it seems that the war could be heading towards a prolonged fight. and for this, moscow needs those who are willing to take the risk. we have spoken to a former syrian soldier who wants to fight alongside the russians in ukraine in a war he doesn t really believe in. russia is carrying out massacres in ukraine, but in syria, it is taking the poor people who cannot find a living and giving them the money to go and fight alongside its troops. he told us that pro russian recruiters enrolled soldiers and civilians. if successful, they go first to the russian military airbase in a syrian city, and from there to russia. moscow had announced that 16,000 middle eastern fighters volunteered to join its troops.
