Russia has reportedly offered volunteers from Syria between $200 and $300 to fight in its ongoing military onslaught in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that\u00a0Russia military operation invaded Ukraine<\/a>\u00a0on Thursday February 24.<\/p>\n

According to Syrian-based Deir Ezzor, Russia had offered money to volunteers \u201cto go to Ukraine and operate as guards\u201d for six months at a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeir Ezzor 24 received exclusive information that Russia had instructed to open the door for volunteering for a period of six months, to go to Ukraine and operate as guards, with salaries ranging between 200 and 300 USD, in addition to recruiting mercenaries with wide privileges,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal cited four United States officials as saying Russia<\/a> was recruiting fighters from Syria with the hope that their expertise in urban combat can help take the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.<\/p>\n

The number of Syrians recruited is uncertain as at the time of filing this report, though one official said some were already in Russia preparing.<\/p>\n

The Journal report adds that Syrian recruitment by Russia points to a possible escalation of the war.<\/p>\n

This development came as Ukraine appealed to foreigners who wanted to fight in its defence, with President Volodmyr Zelensky<\/a> announcing the creation of the International Legion for anyone wanting to fight Russia in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who wants to join the defense of Ukraine, Europe and the world can come and fight side by side with the Ukrainians against the Russian war criminals,\u201d the statement on the presidential website said.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian officials had revealed that 3,000 Americans had applied to fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
