Russia is forming groups of so-called "military instructors" for further dispatch to the territory of African countries. The Kremlin wants to expand its influence there. This was reported by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.


"Moscow is also conducting persistent recruitment in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, in particular in the temporarily occupied Crimea," the statement reads.


It is noted that the contracts are offered to military reservists of the Russian occupation army - specialists in the maintenance of Russian-made air defense systems, military sailors and some other specialists in the military-technical sphere.
