Amnesty: Russia's foreign recruitment for Ukraine war constitutes human trafficking

Amnesty International claims Russia is systematically engaging in human trafficking, luring foreign nationals and Latin American prisoners with false job offers or sentence commutations, then coercing them into military service in Ukraine. This represents an escalation in Russia's coercive recruitment tactics, expanding its manpower base through deceptive and exploitative means. The claims are based on Amnesty's investigations and individual testimonies, with limited independent corroboration.
