An investigation has found that Russia has been using a popular job website to entice war recruits. Some of the roles offer salaries 10x the average Russian monthly salary of 63,060 rubles ($810).

Across Russia, volunteer battalions are being formed to deploy to the war in Ukraine, joining the so-called “special military operation” declared by President Vladimir Putin in February.

A top Russian general appears to have been dismissed amid a shake up and ongoing power struggles within Russia's military ranks, according to UK intelligence.

Morale in Russia's ranks remains low, according to calls obtained by the New York Times after they were intercepted by Ukraine's defense ministry from the front lines.
