💨 Abstract

Russia is offering bonuses to attract volunteers for its military, with one-off payments of up to $20,000. Ex-driver "Mara" is one of the recruits, returning to the army after 20 years, citing the ongoing conflict with Ukraine as his motivation. The recruits are undergoing training in the Rostov region, with Moscow aiming to replenish its forces to avoid another round of compulsory mobilization.
