"The Russian private military company (PEC) is specifically trying to attract women in Ukraine for the first time," the statement reads. The British intelligence noted that on social networks there were advertisements with the call of women-novobrans to join the Borz Battalion, which is part of the Russian PEC "Radut". Women were invited to work with snipers and operators of unmanned aerial vehicles.
The British Ministry of Defense believes that the Redom PVC can sponsored the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Russian Federation. Instead, in March 2023, the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoiga stated that 1100 women were stationed in Ukraine, ie 0. 3% of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. According to the Redout announcement, women are currently providing medical support and help with nutrition.
"It remains unclear whether the official Russian defense will try to imitate their example and open more fighting roles for women," the British Defense Ministry said. In intelligence, they added that during a full -scale invasion, Russian women rarely participated in the warfare at the front line, but during the Second World War, women were snipers and were part of other Soviet troops. We will remind, on October 23 Russian journalists found on social networks ads with vacancies for Russians.
They were offered to take part in the war in Ukraine on the front line. In particular, the announcement refers to a contract for six months with a salary of 220 thousand rubles. Whereas for injuries they pay from 1 to 3 million, and for death - 5 million rubles. Analysts of the Institute of War Study in the daily report for October 25 reported that Russia was trying to expand its fighting power without general mobilization.
