"The ministry did not mention Russia's almost four-year-long war on Ukraine, where thousands of paid foreign fighters have joined Moscow's side. In a statement shared on X, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry said it would take all available measures to end the further recruitment of Jordanians and called for Moscow to terminate the contracts of its currently enlisted citizens. The recruitment is a violation of both Jordanian domestic and international law, the ministry said, and endangers the lives of [its] citizens."
"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. Usov did not provide a breakdown of the foreign soldiers fighting in Ukraine for Russia, but the vast majority were likely from North Korea. The New York-based Council on Foreign Relations said Pyongyang sent between 14,000 and 15,000 soldiers to fight for Russia in 2024,"
Jordan demanded that Russian authorities stop illegally recruiting Jordanian citizens after two Jordanians were killed while fighting in the Russian military. The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned against Moscow and external entities working online to recruit people on Moscow's behalf and said it would take all available measures to end further recruitment and called for Moscow to terminate contracts of currently enlisted citizens. The ministry said recruitment violates Jordanian domestic and international law and endangers citizens. Ukraine reports Russia recruited at least 18,000 foreign fighters from 128 countries, with 3,388 foreign deaths and major contributions reportedly from North Korea and African countries.
