Nepal's mercenaries fight for Russia | DW Documentary


The war in Ukraine is thousands of kilometers away, yet Nepalese combatants are risking their lives fighting alongside Russian troops.

Recruitment agencies smuggle young Nepalese men into the Ukraine war — they are supposed to fight for Putin’s army. They are promised a good income and Russian citizenship.

But reality often looks different….

  1. Good for Nepal! Why are so many of you so mad about this? Do any of you cry about the French and American mercenaries getting wiped out in Ukraine? Why should any one else care? They volunteered, right?

  2. Masyaallah ,,,mostly of them are The Father figure ,,they will always put the family as priority ,, even if they have to sold their soul for money ,,, great respect for these Nepali men ,,hope they cud reunion with family ,,n for those who got kia,,,may their souls rest in peace 😢😢😢

  3. another Propaganda vid for the British? British , long ago, were the first to got them to man their front lines. Like in Singapore. Trivia: Thousnds upon thousands of British, Australian, New Zealang troops kneeled before the Japanese in Singapore. .

  4. Nepalis have been always in foreign wars since the First World War…. Hundreds of thousands of Nepalese have laid their lives for foreigners since time immemorial. They have fought the Burmese for Manipuris, fought the Mughals for ranjit singh, fought the Germans and the Japanese for the British. Fought the Indonesians for bruneians. Fought the afghans, Iraqis, Syrians for the British…fought the Pakistanis for Indians and still fight for foreigners

  5. Russia call for international volunteers precisely because of shortage of man power resulting from high casualty numbers.
    If they indeed only train foreign soldiers couple of weeks before they are sent to the frontlines, it's clear that such soldiers are treated as cannon foders.

    Moral of story, do not go fighting for russia.

  6. Nepal government and constitution are so poor and corrupted,and basically dominated by one race which is indo aryan " bahun",,the world doesnt know about this story,the real story,what is meaning of "gorkha",,why are hill tribe with mongolian facial feature are always recruited in army,or used as sacrificial lamb by britisher,nepal king now france ,russian,while indo aryan and bahun occupied the high post and minister role in politics and government,,the hidden brutal colonization of hill tribe of nepal,force them into becoming gorkha soldier,erasing their history,language,culture and forcing nepalese,hindu religion on hill tribe,,the hidden dark corruption of domination of one race in nepal

  7. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 pave the path to this moment , they use the Nepal people as mercenaries so many times
    Ps: the guy Never get his paycheque from Rusia 🇷🇺 but doesn’t have any job & was able to pay $ 3000 to run from Rusia …those narativ are 💯 nonsens. He took the money and runaway now he’s getting nightmares about they may find him

  8. It is the government of Nepal to be blamed. Years of corruption by the politican has bought nepal to this position. Untill Nepali people decide to bring change in their own country things like this will keep happening.

  9. Foreigners fighting in other countries doesn't mean they are mercenaries, Mercenaries are not part of the Army they instead join alongside the army, Foreign Volunteers,Foreign Legions, foreign units and foreigners joining other army are not mercenaries but where part of the army, different from the mercenaries

  10. Us Army vet here. Screw Ukraine. They did not help us after 9-11. They refused to let us land fighter jets on their land. Only cargo. They did not offer weapons, money or soldiers. F them.

  11. Shame on anyone who would take money to willingly become a murder and fight for Russia's military. Also shame on the corrupt Nepalese government for keeping their citizens poor and desperate. But mostly shame onRussia for starting and continuing this invasion. Sadly Africans are also signing up to be Russian merceneries and are next.
