New Delhi has confirmed that some of India’s citizens have signed up for “support jobs” with the Russian army. The Indian government says it is working with Moscow to secure their discharge.
The Indian Foreign Ministry said Friday that some of the country’s citizens have signed up for jobs helping Russia in its war against Ukraine.
The ministry has not confirmed if any of those who signed up had taken combat roles.
What kind of shitty beliefs do you have to have to think, oh yeah, helping Russia invade is something I should do??
Money good.
Your average Indian citizen is probably not as tuned in to the conflict as people in Western nations. Poor men in rural areas are pitched high wages (to them) for some easy work like building barracks away from the frontline. The same thing was happening in Cuba. Then once they arrived in Ukraine they were put in combat roles.
They’re promised well paying jobs, they don’t necessarily know what they’re getting themselves into. I’m sure whoever is recruiting them is incentivised to lie about the actual situation.
The same set of beliefs where scamming people for gift cards and tech support is okay, of course.
