Hundreds of Ethiopian men are lining up outside the Russian embassy in Ethiopia in hopes of fighting for Russia in the war against Ukraine.

Several hundred men were seen registering their names with Ethiopian security guards outside the Russian embassy. While the men were not seen entering the establishment, they were asked to provide proof of previous military experience, as first reported by Reuters.

A man who came out of the embassy later told the Ethiopian men that they would be contacted when they were needed, adding that Russia had enough forces in Ukraine for now.

Droves of Ethiopian men went to the embassy after a social media post claimed fighters who would join the war could receive a payment of $2,000.

The Russian embassy later issued a statement dismissing claims that it was recruiting foreign fighters to join the war. The embassy said the men who were queuing outside the mission only wanted to show their solidarity with Russia.

The Ethiopian Foreign Ministry praised the Russian statement, saying it refuted the “unfounded reports of recruitment for the Russian Armed Forces.”

Rumors of Russia recruiting fighters in Ethiopia come after the Kremlin in March announced it would recruit 16,000 fighters from the Middle East to take part in the war in Ukraine.

Since Russian President Vladimir Putin first announced the start of the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Aboy Ahmed has remained neutral and urged both sides to exercise restraint.

“We express our concern at the escalating rhetoric that risks further intensifying the issue and call upon all concerned to explore the multiple pathways to reach an understanding,” the prime minister said.

Ethiopia has neither condemned nor voiced support for Russia amid the war. However, the country refused to vote on a UN General Assembly resolution condemning the invasion of Ukraine.

Despite the administration staying neutral, many Ethiopians have voiced support for Russia, which they see as a friendly nation. Additionally, thousands of Ethiopian military personnel were trained in what was then known as the Soviet Union. Since the war began in February, many Ethiopians have been calling and emailing the Russian embassy to voice their support, the press attache for the embassy in Addis Ababa told VOA News.

Why no? They know Russia is winning.

these ones want to be used as shield or what?

Hope the west know they have divided this world into two and sadly those going to be building relationships with Russia outnumber the West if we're to go by direct democracy.

This has made BRICS ties even stronger.

Nonsense. Opportunity to leave their poverty stricken land not minding the cost.

Anyway is a way. Japa syndrome sef Dey go on for Ethiopia now cos they have Buhari kind person sef as president.

NATO (America's) aim is to split society in Russia and ultimately destroy it.

Putin only demand is that Nato turn the clock back to 1997 and reverse its eastward expansion, removing its forces and military infrastructure from member states that joined the alliance from 1997 and not deploying strike weapons near Russia's borders.
Is that too much to ask? Is that too much to do for NATO?

And it's this West that promised back in 1990 that Nato would expand "not an inch to the east", but see them now

NATO and America can make use of their media propaganda all they want but one thing is clear, " a lie can travel around the globe for years while the truth is putting on its shoes, just a day is enough for the truth to catch up with it"

All is fair in war

Satan and his Agents using tech to manipulate Humanity into self-Destructiveness.

I thought Russia said they would level up ukraine in less than 2weeks, why are they now recruiting foreign fighters? Make dem sha no include Nigeria, because many Nigerian men would go and fight even without collecting kobo. Buhari don finish us already.

Dem never settle their own internal war, na Russia dem wan fight for. Dem think Russia go grant dem citizenship?
