Nepal’s mercenaries fight for Russia | DW Documentary
The war in Ukraine is thousands of kilometers away, yet Nepalese combatants are risking their lives fighting alongside Russian troops.
Recruitment agencies smuggle young Nepalese men into the Ukraine war — they are supposed to fight for Putin’s army. They are promised a good income and Russian citizenship.
But reality often looks different. Those who return complain about lack of payment and the terrible war routine. It’s a life-threatening mission, many Nepalese are killed in the process. Yet, this doesn’t deter some young Nepalese men, like 25-year-old Sonish, who is determined to go to Russia.
A report by Adil Bhat.

What's the difference? Russia or Israel!
I don't get what lilu is mourning?? Your husband became a killer hired to invade and kill residents of another nation… just like any hitman or hired murderer
Those types are thrown away like the murderers they are and you should be ashamed to claim him ….
Putin finds the weakest , most ignorant people to exploit .
why are germans such trouble makers
Bullshit
funny how EU countrys encourage soldiers to go to Ukraine hehe my grandpa k i l l e d n a z i supporters like the ukranians for Denmark
These men signed a contract to fight abroad for money. I have no pity for them. I wonder what the Hessian mercenaries that fought in the American Revolutionary War would think of you current Germans. Likely not in high regard.
What is the difference btn them and French Mercenaries, I know this is another West propaganda film😊
They are mercenary and disobey the law. It's hard to have pity.
Imagine people that are mercenaries for British empire for hundreds of years deciding to do it for someone else also. How dare they.

All in all they are mercenaries.
Poverty creates so many problems. And yet, so many people ask, "Why should I care if my neighbor is poor?".
The irony is that YouTube thinks that extremist right-wing propaganda is legit advertisement for this video.
At best it's anti-western, at worst it's pro-Russian BS. YouTube needs to be regulated.
UKR needs to start doing the same thing expect to guarantee them that they won't be on the front lines, they can help buid the trenches, logistics, medical etc.
Sorry 😞 😪for all the spirituals that died in this damned war…in both sides….continued poverty, making minds craziness … how many foreigners ( mercenaries) volunteers to Ukraine 🇺🇦 side's. .. some of them from South American content countries where no one focuses on them ? Also, poverty pushed them to this lethal adventure .
As they say, useful idiots.
Now talk about the mercenaries hired by Ukraine 😂😂😂😂😂
So for the kraut media if you fight for Russians you are mercenary but if you join SS “Азов” you are volunteer…. Some things never change
It's hard to believe the stupidity of them. They are going to war. To a real war. Where real people die in real life. DIE. Yet it seems Nepalese think it's a computer game. "I will go to a war and come back rich". Unbelieveable that adult people can be so out of their minds about what a war is.
Beyond depressing.
A lot of cocky comments. These guys are doing it out of extreme poverty, not that they hate Ukraine. I support Ukraine, but these nepali people are not my enemy.
sad
BUFFALO SOLDIERS
They lie to you, you lie to your child👏👏👏
This is what you get when you go to kill people you don't know and have no issues with for money.
An idiotness of war!
u can take risks and get nothin but a debt bec of agent fees, the real world is a hard place.
It appears a human trafficking case, they were promised a job in a Western country, and they landed in Moscow. Eastern Europe ( Bulgaria, Romania etc) is the trafficking gateway for Germany, France and UK. They must have sold their agriculture land to pay for their destination in UK or Germany. This is the stark reality …
