The partisan movement has discovered an underground training base for contractors from African countries in the Russian city of St. Petersburg, according to the Telegram channel of the partisan movement ATESH.

According to ATESH, the base also hosts training for the 101st warehouse of the armored military unit No. 68076.

"Over 2.5 years of war, the Russian army has destroyed hundreds of thousands of its citizens and is now forced to plug holes with mercenaries from other countries. We have thoroughly studied the daily routine at this facility, tracked most fast-food places where the military spends their leisure time," the partisans wrote.

Russia recruits foreigners for the war in Ukraine

It should be noted that Africans are not the first foreigners the Kremlin has engaged in military operations in Ukraine.

Earlier, it was known that Russian forces attempted to recruit Serbs and Ukrainians living in the occupied territories.

The Center for National Resistance also reported that Russia recruited tens of thousands of mercenaries from Africa and Asia to participate in the war in Ukraine. Later, it became known that occupying forces also imported mercenaries from Cuba and Nepal into Ukrainian territory.

However, the Kremlin faced problems as Nepalese mercenaries began mass desertions from the Russian army.
