Quote: "More than 22,200 vacancies for contract servicemen have appeared in regional employment centres of the Russian Federation".

Details: According to the Centre for Countering Disinformation, at least 7 units that have fought in Ukraine have posted vacancies for the recruitment of snipers, gunners, drivers, combat medics and other specialists.

Some of these units are the 64th Motor Rifle Brigade from the Khabarovsk region (military unit no. 51460) and the 104th Guards Air Assault Regiment (military unit no. 32515), which were involved in the killings and torture of civilians in the city of Bucha, the Centre reports.

According to the calculations of the Centre for Countering Disinformation, the 37th Motor Rifle Brigade (military unit no. 69647) from Buryatia, with the second-highest number of casualties, is seeking the most people.

"These vacancies indicate the losses of the Russian army and the general problem with the recruitment of military personnel," the report says.
