answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2022 answer text <p>We are aware of media reports on Russia's recruitment of former Afghan forces, possibly for their deployment as mercenary forces in the Ukraine conflict. As Russia continues to experience battlefield setbacks in Ukraine, it has exposed the limitations of using large numbers of inexperienced and poorly equipped conscripts. As a result the Kremlin is increasingly prepared to deploy mercenary forces. We continue to work closely with our international partners to counter Russian malign activity, including its use of mercenaries, and respond to actions that undermine the rules based international system.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 17/11/2022 17:51:12 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
