Vladimir Putin has given the green light for up to 16,000 volunteers from the Middle East to be deployed alongside Russian-backed rebels fighting in Ukraine, doubling down on an invasion that the west says has been losing momentum.
Putin said: “If you see that there are these people who want of their own accord, not for money, to come to help the people living in Donbas, then we need to give them what they want and help them get to the conflict zone.”

Things must be going really well for them in Ukraine if they need to import fighters to supplement the invincible Russian army. Good thing there isn't much of a naval engagement, the Russians would have to solicit help from Somali pirates at that point.

It doesn't say much for the russian army does it.
They would probably wind up with a crew like the ones that attacked the Maersk Alabama.
