Jordan has demanded that Russian authorities stop illegally recruiting its citizens after two Jordanians were killed fighting in the Russian military.<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued the warning on Thursday against Moscow and external \u201centities\u201d working online to recruit people on Moscow\u2019s behalf.<\/a><\/p>\n

The ministry did not mention Russia\u2019s almost four-year-long war on Ukraine, where thousands of paid foreign fighters have joined Moscow\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

In a statement shared on X, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry said it would \u201ctake all available measures\u201d to end the further recruitment of Jordanians and called for Moscow to terminate the contracts of its currently enlisted citizens.<\/p>\n

The recruitment is a violation of both Jordanian domestic and international law, the ministry said, and \u201cendangers the lives of [its] citizens\u201d.<\/p>\n

The statement did not provide any further identifying information or say where or when the two citizens were killed, though Russia has a track record of recruiting foreigners to fight in Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ukraine says Moscow has recruited at least 18,000 foreign fighters from 128 countries, according to figures shared by Brigadier General Dmytro Usov. In a post on the Telegram messaging app, he said another 3,388 foreigners have died fighting for Russia.<\/p>\n

Usov did not provide a breakdown of the foreign soldiers fighting in Ukraine for Russia, but the vast majority were likely from North Korea.<\/p>\n

The New York-based Council on Foreign Relations said Pyongyang sent between 14,000 and 15,000 soldiers to fight for Russia in 2024, citing Western officials.<\/p>\n

Moscow has also recruited at least 1,400 Africans from more than 30 countries, using methods ranging from deception to duress, according to Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha.<\/p>\n

Sybiha said previously that signing a contract with the Russian military was \u201cequivalent to signing a death sentence\u201d for foreign recruits.<\/p>\n

\u201cForeign citizens in the Russian army have a sad fate. Most of them are immediately sent to the so-called \u2018meat assaults,\u2019 where they are quickly killed,\u201d Sybiha said in a November 9 post on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Russian command understands that there will be no accountability for the killed foreigner, so they are treated as second-rate, expendable human material,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aman says it will take \u2018all available measures\u2019 to stop Russian authorities from recruiting its citizens to fight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598492,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7655],"tags":[299,20292,839,12,332,7661,333],"class_list":{"0":"post-598491","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-russia","8":"tag-europe","9":"tag-jordan","10":"tag-middle-east","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-russia","13":"tag-russia-ukraine-war","14":"tag-vladimir-putin"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115625373666465340","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598491"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598491\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
