Russia's so desperate for soldiers that it's offering a $5,200 sign-on bonus to recruit from neighboring Kazakhstan
home to about 3.5 million ethnic Russians, who make up nearly 18% of the country's population of about 19.5 million people.
The online recruitment ads feature the flags of Russia and Kazakhstan alongside the slogan"Shoulder to shoulder," per Reuters. The posts offer the 495,000-ruble one-off payment, a monthly 190,000-ruble salary, and other benefits for those who ink a contract with the Russian military, per the news agency.
The ads lead to a website that offers people a chance to join the Russian army in the country's far eastern Sakhalin region — where an organization set up by the local government is doing the recruitment, according to Reuters.
