The Kremlin through the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation continues to expand the impact in Africa - ISW

The GUR of Ukraine reported that the Russian military is forming detachments of "military instructors" for moving to African countries (it is probably about the African Corps) and that the Russian Federation is recruited in such units in the Russian Federation and in occupied parts of Ukraine, in particular in Crimea. According to analysts, the African Corps seeks to control the operations of Wagner PEC in Africa after the Russian Ministry of Defense could not directly recruit the former Wagner.

Russian officials have been regularly referred to as the Wagner PECs, who operate in Africa, "military instructors" and "advisers", despite their military role in the king and small ones. According to GUR, the Russian Federation pays special attention to the recruitment of specialists in the maintenance of air defense systems, former sailors and other specialists. Russian reservists are attracted to high salary and the opportunity to avoid participating in hostilities in Ukraine.

The African Corps advertises "high salaries" - from 110,000 rubles ($ 1,240), but with the warnings that candidates who are currently participating in the war in Ukraine cannot go to the African Corps.

On January 17, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced that the deputy minister of Defense General-General Alexander Fomin and Colonel-General Yunus-Beck Yevkurov held a meeting with the Minister of Defense of Nigeria, Major General Salifu Modi, which discussed bilateral military and military and military cooperation. Also, according to ISW, the Kremlin is probably trying to expand the operations of the African corps in Niger, Burkina-Faso and Small.
