Brussels (Eurotoday) – The European Union acknowledges Russia’s recruitment of foreign nationals for the Ukraine war but avoids commenting on Yemeni involvement.
The European Union does not remark on details regarding the recruitment of Yemeni citizens in the Russian Federation to partake in the war with Ukraine but says that they are aware of Moscow’s usage of citizens of other nations for these goals.
As reported by Interfax-Ukraine, a representative of the EU’s Foreign Diplomatic Service and lead spokesperson for foreign affairs and security policy Peter Stano, blank” rel=”noopener”>remarked on information about the recruitment of Yemeni citizens to use in the war against Ukraine, spread by the Financial Times.
In Brussels on 25 Nov 2024, He said, “We are aware that Russia is using recruitment of nationalities from other countries to continue and fuel its illegal aggression against Ukraine.” At the same time, Stano did not respond to the clarifying question about Yemeni citizens. “It is for the Ukrainian authorities to say what kind of nationalities they identified on their territory, which is temporarily occupied by the Russian military, citizens of which countries are present there,” he stated.
How is Russia recruiting foreign nationals for the Ukraine war?
Financial Times reported that Russia’s armed forces have blank” rel=”noopener”>hired hundreds of Yemeni men to battle in Ukraine, carried by a shadowy trafficking operation that underlines the growing ties between Moscow and the Houthi rebel group. Yemeni recruits who journeyed to Russia told the Financial Times they were pledged high-salaried careers and even Russian citizenship.
When they reached with the assistance of a Houthi-linked business, they were then forcibly inducted into the Russian army and deployed to the front lines in Ukraine. The formation of the ragtag group of mostly involuntary Yemeni mercenaries in Ukraine reveals how the conflict is increasingly stinking in soldiers from abroad as casualties increase and the Kremlin attempts to avoid a full mobilisation. They include mercenaries from Nepal and India and some 12,000 North Korean regular army troops who reached to take part in fighting against Ukrainian forces in the Russian province of Kursk.

Oh, brilliant! The EU’s diplomatic strategy: if we don’t talk about it, it’s not happening. Must be a new form of international relations—like playing hide and seek but without the “seek.” 😂

Oh, fantastic! The EU’s strategy of selective hearing is truly a masterpiece—who knew they were also auditioning for the role of “Diplomatic Mimes”? 🤔 Just when you thought they couldn’t ignore any more pressing issues, here they are, perfecting the art of saying absolutely nothing! 🎭

Typical EU move, innit? Just like ignoring a dodgy waiter while you’re busy scrutinizing the last dregs of your overpriced espresso. ☕🧐

Oh, brilliant move, EU! While everyone’s head is spinning with the circus in Ukraine, the Yemeni lads quietly slip under the radar like it’s a VIP club. 🎩 Who knew “strategic silence” was a thing?

Oh, brilliant move by the EU! Why comment on Yemen when we can just add it to our long list of things we’d rather ignore? 🤷♂️ Must be part of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” diplomatic strategy. Classic! 😏

Oh, brilliant! Just what we need—more foreign nationals in a conflict that’s already a right mess! I suppose the EU figured silence is golden, or maybe they’re just waiting for the popcorn to pop 🍿 before weighing in on this exotic recruitment drive.
