Russian military contracts hidden in plain sight | Eastern Express

Bratskiy Syndicate advertises a business built around recruiting candidates for service in Russia’s armed forces. Belsat TV linked the agency’s chief operating officer to a website targeting Belarusians with military contracts and large promised payments. Subsequent reporting said that website stopped working, while the agency’s main recruitment site remains accessible.

Eastern Express examines the recruitment process, Belarusian branding, and the reported disparity in how Belarus treats those fighting for Russia and Ukraine. We also consider recruitment advertisements in migrant chats, while distinguishing that evidence from unproven claims about this agency targeting people stranded at the border.
