Financial Times Reports Russia Recruits Yemeni Fighters via Houthis for Ukraine War
Nov 24, 2024, 08:59 AM
According to a report by the Financial Times, Russia has recruited hundreds of Yemeni fighters to participate in the war in Ukraine. The recruitment began as early as July and was conducted through a Houthi-linked company that lured men with promises of lucrative employment and Russian citizenship. The recruits were flown to Russia via Oman and may have been coerced into fighting. This operation underscores the growing ties between Moscow and the Houthi rebel group in Yemen.
