Russia Recruits Yemeni Houthis Promised High Salaries to Fight in Ukraine—Financial Times
Nov 24, 2024, 09:16 AM
Russia has recruited hundreds of Yemeni fighters, including members of the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group, to fight in Ukraine, according to the Financial Times. Recruitment began as early as July through a Houthi-linked company, with Yemeni men promised high-paying jobs and Russian citizenship. Upon arrival in Russia via Oman, many were forcibly inducted into the Russian army and sent to the front lines, where they have reportedly suffered heavy losses. This shadowy trafficking operation highlights the growing ties between Moscow and the Houthis.
