Russian military recruitment campaigns targeting Belarusian citizens via Viber

Russian military recruitment efforts are intensifying and expanding in scope, with confirmed campaigns offering significant financial incentives and relaxed standards for rear-echelon roles within Russia, and alleged mandatory quotas in Chechnya. Simultaneously, recruitment campaigns are targeting Belarusian citizens via social media. The extent of state-level coordination for Belarusian recruitment and the verifiable implementation of Chechen quotas remain key uncertainties.
