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.
