    Not much work around there and the market only decreases + most men came through obligatory service so they believe they know-how + employer DGAF if you are an ex-con or a neo-nazi + you earn in a month what you may not do in a year + shooting hardly armed brown people was pretty safe + and with mobilization there is a promise you’d be better treated, equipped and trained there if you sign contract with them. They previously hired from ex-Yugoslavia countries since there are many sympathizers and not the best economics in EU too; and Ukraine is probably the only post-CIS state they don’t have a recruitment campaign in. The only limit I see is funding, and they deal in oil and food catering for government for that. I see their numbers get reported pretty conservatively while they are a big deal to actually be concerned about. Yet it took only 9 years to proclaim it as such.
