Russia front news
On May 21, 2026, the Russian Ministry of Defense reached a new zenith of "human resource optimization" by intensifying its campaign to recruit 18,500 foreign mercenaries to fill the ever--expanding vacancies in its infantry. In a masterclass of logic, the Kremlin has decided that if the domestic supply of enthusiasts for the "special military operation" is running dry, the only reasonable solution is to import fresh lives from 130 different countries to participate in the local meat--grinder. It’s a truly touching display of multiculturalism: why should the tragedy of a senseless war be limited to just one nation when you can turn the front lines into a global melting pot of wasted potential? It seems humanity’s greatest gift is the ability to outsource its own self--destruction to anyone with a passport and a lack of better options.
