Deported from the United States and then immediately dispatched to the front lines by Russia. Such was the fate of several Russian nationals who, after being detained and put on a plane in Arizona on Monday, December 8, eventually landed in Moscow on Tuesday, December 9, after a stopover in Cairo.
According to the independent Russian media outlet Mediazona, 64 Russian passengers were on board. The authorities have provided no information about their current status. However, several of them received military draft notices as soon as they arrived, the first step toward likely deployment to the front in Ukraine. The information was confirmed by the group Russian America for Democracy in Russia (RADR), an advocacy group established in the US by opponents to the Kremlin.
The only official statement from Moscow came after the plane landed: The Office of the Prosecutor General announced the arrest of Zair Saimullin, age 69, who was charged with fraud and whose extradition from the US had been requested by Russia. According to RADR, he was likely on board the flight from Cairo.

Hopefully they can surrender to Ukraine.
Now I’m curious as how Ukraine handles asylum seekers from Russia. Do they consider them too much of a risk to draft them? I mean, obviously going from one country at war to another doesn’t solve many of the issues, but I’m curious as to how this would affect their risk of bbeing drafted.
Theres an entire unit of Russians fighting alongside Ukrainian forces
That’s a good point, as having russian-only units sorts out some of the issues I guess. That wasn’t really ehat I was thinking about though. I get that there are lots of russians opposing the government strongly enough to be willing to fight against them. I was wondering about military age draft dodgers, but I guess they have civilian service for any people unwilling to fight.
Considering most(2/3-90% depemding on the sources) Ruzzians are killed by drones and artillery these days and the Russians take care of making sure none can surrender their chances are grim.
Did you really just mix a fraction and a percentage in the same statistic? You monster.
Yeah. Sorry. I have PFTT: Post fraction tutoring trauma. I had to tutor three teen kids math for four hours today. Kid and their friend write a test today. I will see fractions and percentages tonight in my nightmares.
They’re just people man, come on.
I consider you a dumb cunt
How many Russians have you met and had a conversation with?
Plenty
The same could be said about Americans because of people like you
They don’t seem like they’d make the most motivated soldiers. I doubt I’d want to be deployed to a war zone with one of these guys next to me.
If you know the details of this war, you know that the Russian military is not driven by “motivation”. Instead, it’s beatings, threats of death, humiliation etc.
