Sri Lankans Recruited for Ukraine War
Discussion about Sri Lankan nationals being recruited by Russia to fight in the Ukraine conflict. The topic gained attention after French journalist coverage and includes accounts from Sri Lankans contacted about their experiences.
Nothing says "career pivot" quite like a French journalist discovering that your country's recruitment problem has somehow become an international news story—turns out "competitive salary" and "all-expenses-paid Eastern Europe trip" were the ultimate LinkedIn ad nobody asked for.
Thread: I was surprised when French journalist Joanna Blain contacted me to ask about #SriLanka n experience of foreign nationals being recruited by #Russia to fight in #Ukraine. After speaking to me & several others, she has produced this for Le Parisien. https://t.co/N2RFCZeSIq
