As the war in Ukraine has developed, Russia has successfully mobilized support from five countries in Asia. These include drones and artillery shells provided by Iran, missiles and artillery shells aided by North Korea, logistics personnel sent by India, commandos established by Nepal, and combat troops sent by Cuba.
According to The Hindu, more and more Indians are choosing to travel to Russia and participate in Russian logistics, and this trend may be just the beginning. India's huge population base and abundant human resources, especially from the northern regions, accustomed to hard work, because of the long-term use of Russian-style ** equipment, they can adapt to the logistics posts of the Russian army without difficulty, with little additional training.
On the economic side, Russia offers a very attractive remuneration package for Indian logisticians: up to 200,000 rubles per month, and additional bonuses for service at the front. At the current exchange rate, this is equivalent to about 30,000 yuan, far more than the monthly income of the average basic job in India, which is usually between 1,000 and 2,000 yuan. This huge pay gap is undoubtedly very attractive.
In fact, Russia does not expect Indian logisticians to be directly involved in the fierce fighting, but hopes to unleash the same number of Russian main forces to participate in frontal battles by absorbing 100,000 Indian logisticians. At the same time, in the face of Russia's huge daily consumption of ammunition and the need to move and sort out a large number of logistics materials, Russia has given priority to introducing Indian human resources into military factories and related departments to fill the shortage of basic labor.
According to the Asian edition of CNN, about 15,000 Nepalese fighters have joined the Russian army. The Russian side gave them a monthly salary of between $2,000 and $4,000. This figure is much higher than the level of income for basic jobs in Nepal, equivalent to 400 to 800 yuan, and even less than the 800 to 1,000 yuan per month of taxi drivers, so it is extremely attractive. Moreover, finding such a stable job in Nepal is not an easy task in itself.
Nepal is currently facing a staggering unemployment rate of over 60 per cent. This means that tens of millions of adults in a country of more than 30 million people are unemployed.
As a result, for many Nepalis, choosing to serve in Russia has become an attractive option because they can earn much more than Nepalese basic jobs, with a monthly salary equivalent to 14,000 to 28,000 yuan, which is more than 20 to 50 times the salary of basic jobs.
Take, for example, Kadka, a 37-year-old Nepalese who worked as a logistical security guard for NATO troops in Afghanistan during the war in Afghanistan. However, when he returned to Nepal, he found it difficult to find a job, so he chose to move to Russia. In the Russian army, he was twice sent on missions to the **Mutter battlefield, and unfortunately, during the last mission he was hit by a bullet in the arm.
Not only Nepalese soldiers, but also volunteers from Cuba in the Russian army, who also joined in pursuit of high salaries. However, the main task of these Nepalese and Cuban mercenaries was to carry out reconnaissance missions, taking extremely high risks to their lives in order to provide intelligence support to the Russian army.
On the battlefield, Nepalese mercenaries operate in small groups, they advance cautiously, and in the event of an attack by enemy fire, the Russian army immediately locates the enemy's position and strikes the enemy with heavy fire. Subsequently, the Nepalese mercenaries regrouped into groups and continued to advance, trying to lure the enemy into revealing their positions so that Russian artillery could deliver precision strikes. Such battles continued, forming one repetition after another.
At present, India, Nepal, Cuba and other developing countries with relatively backward economies but rich population resources are becoming new recruits for the Russian army. At the same time, Iran and North Korea's vast military-industrial complexes provide Russia with major military support materials such as missiles, drones, and artillery shells.
Russia, relying on its abundant energy and grain export revenues, not only pays salaries to mercenaries in India and Nepal, but also buys large quantities of ammunition** to Iran and North Korea.
Months after the U.S. stopped aiding Ukraine, NATO and Australia began using their last stockpiles to support Ukraine. On the occasion of the second anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine war, Italian Prime Minister Meloni, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Belgian Prime Minister Androwe de Croo and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen gathered in Kyiv to attend Zelensky's press conference at Antonov Airport.
After signing security agreements with Germany, France, Denmark and the United Kingdom, Ukraine signed similar agreements with Canada and Italy. Germany bought back 12 Gepard self-propelled guns from Qatar to support Ukraine.
With the support of the European Union, the Czech Republic has ordered 170,000 artillery shells from South Korea, South Africa and other countries, which are expected to arrive in Ukraine by the end of March. Meanwhile, EU President Ursula von der Leyen announced in Kyiv that the first €4.5 billion allocated by the EU will also be in place in March.
The Swedish company Saab has announced its readiness to supply JA-39 Gripen fighters to Ukraine. Currently, a number of Ukrainian pilots have been training in Sweden for six months, awaiting approval from Sweden.
Australia plans to supply Ukraine with 59 used M1A1 tanks and is in talks with Ukrainian Defense Minister Umerov. In addition, the Netherlands will supply 4 Vera-NG radars, while Denmark and Sweden have jointly ordered 35 CV-90 infantry fighting vehicles and other equipment for Ukraine.
NATO and Australia are supplying Ukraine with ** and ammunition to help it fight Russia's armored and artillery forces on the front lines. Despite the absolute superiority of the Russian army in artillery, air force and troops, in Avadiivka, which is comparable in size to the county town of China, there are 160,000 Russian soldiers were killed.
However, the number of Ukrainian casualties in the region remains an unknown number. The Kyiv regime is currently facing the greatest challenge in terms of the quality of its forces and resources. Despite NATO's assistance, this year will still be a pivotal moment for the Russia-Ukraine war. If Ukraine is unable to fully enhance its strength, cession of land and peace may become its last resort.
Ukraine's current strategy is to build behind the frontline positions.
Second, the third line of defense, weakening the Russian army by resisting step by step, in order to exhaust it. However, the success of this strategy remains uncertain, as Russia still has the ability to acquire significant human resources from India, Nepal, and other places to support its war.
