A special mobile unit was parked in a central park in the southern Russian city of Rostov in the last Saturday, September 17th, where the sides were removed to reveal the mobile recruitment office of the army.

Neither of the two parties, Russia and Ukraine, has been publicizing losses of their military forces. However, Western intelligence agencies say the estimate is in the range of tens of thousands of deaths on both sides of the war.
The Russian capital, Moscow, has also not updated its official death toll since March 25. this year, when it was said that some 1,351 Russian soldiers had died and 3,825 were injured. The Kremlin said last week that it had no discussion of a nationwide mobilization to try to bolster the armed forces.

The official who is in charge of the truck in Rostov said that Russians and foreigners aged between 18 and 60 who have at least high school education are already eligible for the role.
“Patriotic-minded citizens are choosing to sign contracts for three or six months to participate in the special military operation,” said Major Sergei Ardashv, who also promised training for all. The minimum wage offered for the role is approximately 160,000 rubles, about $2,700, nearly three times the national average. This shows how badly they need new allies.
One potential recruit identified was musician Viktor Yakunin, who said he has always had a certain attraction to music. idea of serving his country in the army and now he is looking for all the necessary documentation to be part of the project.
“I would love to serve in the airborne troops,” he said. “My parents raised me from childhood to love my homeland, to protect the Russian world. I believe the power is with us,” he concluded.
