"I enter the Russian army": Nepalese go to fight for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation against Ukraine - NYT

"I went to the Russian army!" Said Tapalia, an unemployed laboratory assistant, during a telephone conversation with Sandipal Sandipus. Shanta's younger sister couldn't believe it. "Did you get crazy? Have you bitten for crazy dogs? Do you not know that thousands of people are being killed there? You have nothing for them," Shanta said in response. However, Sandip remained in his own. He became a medical bridge in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

He was lured by a salary of about $ 750 a month and the opportunity to obtain Russian citizenship for the year of service in the Russian army. He was sent to the front under Bakhmut in less than a month. After a while, Sandip stopped going to the connection. It turned out that Nepalese was buried on July 14 in a cemetery in Russian Ivanovo. Shanta wants to go to the Russian cemetery to bring home the remains of his brother.

But Nepalese officials in Moscow told her that the Russian army would not allow it. The publication states that such stories are not uncommon. Hundreds of Nepalese are fighting on the side of the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Officials told reporters that most of the citizens of Nepal were fighting on the side of the Russian Federation, a minority in the international legion on the side of the Armed Forces.

This increases the likelihood that Nepalese will kill each other, which is alarming in government officials. "If such a situation continues, the Nepalese will kill each other in the Russian-Ukrainian war. I feel guilty, seeing all this before my eyes. It's criminal,"-said a member of the parliamentary coalition of Rajgeer Badzhgin. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in Asia. The country has a long history when their people were sent to other people's wars.

They fought on the side of the British Empire to capture India and then on the side of the British in the world wars. In modern history, Nepalese fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. Politicians urge young men to stay as far away from the Russo-Ukrainian war, but they "lack the spirit" to do so, Badzhgain says. "Of the 500,000 young people who enter the labor market every year, only 80,000 or 100,000 receive work in Nepal.

Where do everyone else go?" - said Binho Basati, Nepali retired, which now works as a researcher at the University Thailand. According to the Nepalese, young men from India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the whole constellation of other countries have joined the Russian program. Less than a month after the exercises, they are sent to fight in Ukraine.
