Russia Conscripts Yemeni Houthis for Ukraine War
Russia is actively recruiting Yemeni Houthi fighters for its war in Ukraine through a covert human trafficking operation, promising lucrative employment but instead forcing conscription. These recruits, often lured with promises of high-paying jobs and citizenship, are deployed to the front lines with minimal training. Simultaneously, North Korea has supplied over 10,000 soldiers and military hardware to Russia, indicating a broadening of Moscow’s reliance on foreign mercenaries to bolster its military efforts in Ukraine. The deals involve exchanges of resources, highlighting the Kremlin’s willingness to utilize diverse means to sustain its war effort.
