The Russian army tries to recruit the homeless for the fight in Ukraine

Recruits of the Russian army in St. Petersburg have tried to convince homeless men to register as soldiers for fighting in Ukraine while fighting to increase the military workers.

The charity organization still said that civil servants had targeted their homeless homes in a central district.

"(an recruitment) offered to distribute leaflets in which it was stated that men should be called up for duty in the context of contracts," the Rotunda intelligence service quoted an unnamed source at Anzlezhka. "The official on duty did not allow the distribution of leaflets."

Rotunda, a news service based in St. Petersburg, who published Telegram on the social media channel, said that civil servants of the city administration had confirmed that an recruitment had tried "on his own initiative" to recruit from the homeless population of the city.

The Kremlin has ordered regions all over Russia to set up so -called volunteer battalions for the war in Ukraine, but the recording was slow.

Minister of the recruits increased

In order to increase the number, the maximum age of recruits has already increased to 59 years if they have military experience, and offers large registration premiums of around 5,000 Gbp.

The Russian army also relies on the Wagner mercenary group to close gaps in its front line in Ukraine.

Wagner started a public recruitment campaign for the first time and also actively recruits from Russia's prisons.

Rotunda has also reported that recruiter of the Russian army was instructed to take into account former soldiers who were released due to disregard or crime.

The Kremlin wanted to protect St. Petersburg and Moscow from setting up volunteer battalions, but since the trips on the poorer edges slower and the victims increased, he was forced to drop this plan.

Vladimir Putin avoided calling his invasion of Ukraine as a war, which means that he is legally only allowed to send volunteers and no conscripts into battle.
