Russian Job Listing Websites Are Reportedly Offering More High-Paid Work In The "Security" Field In Ukraine And Syria



Business Insider: Russia is reportedly looking for more mercenaries after reports that hundreds died in a clash with the US

* After a massive battle that multiple reports cite as resulting in hundreds of dead Russian military contractors, Russian job listing websites are reportedly offering more high-paid work in the "security" field.
* The ads seek recruits with good physical fitness who can go on "business trips" to Ukraine or Syria for about three months.
* A Russian paramilitary official recently told France24 that Russian men were volunteering not for money, but for revenge.

After a massive battle that multiple reports cite as resulting in hundreds of dead Russian military contractors, Russian job listing websites are reportedly offering more high-paid work in the "security" field.

A Ukranian website posted several screenshots from Russian job listing websites offering high-paid but vague jobs for those willing to work on "security" projects abroad, and reported that such listings have spiked sharply in February, when the battle took place.

The ads seek recruits with good physical fitness who can go on "business trips" to Ukraine or Syria for about three months. Russia stands accused of sending "little green men" or military contractors without proper Russian military uniforms or affiliation, to wage war in those two countries.

WNU Editor: In the past these ads were discrete. Today .... from what I am seeing .... they are not even hiding it.

Revenge against the Americans for doing what any Russian would do if under attack? Sounds like propaganda.

The Russian chain of command has plenty of fire power at their finger tips. Why wasn't it employed over what turned out to be a many hour battle? The chain of command knew their merc's were going into battle. They knew Americans were there. They saw the carnage as it unfolded. Where was the Russian artillery? Where was the Russian SU-25's?

So the merc's ought to be very angry with their own people for leaving them out there to be killed without any Russian counter fire.

The reporting on this incident is lacking.
I found it very unprofessional and hardly believable that these "for hires" came so unprepared and seemingly unaware of what they were getting into.
I've yet to see any visuals on this episode, before or after.
Did these people push on in order to capture an oil field for a 30% cut of something? I've seen a note to this effect in several publications. But still....
Maybe this black eye is the reason behind Putin's huffing and puffing today about exotic and nuclear weapons?

I’d like to see the suffering there stop. But I have no interest in working for either side in this mess. I bet there are some good investment opportunities there though. Land sells cheap when it’s no mans land. Yet every acre there will come at a huge cost.
