#Alabuga Special Economic Zone (#Tatarstan).

To make up for the acute shortage of labour, #Russian students were initially recruited to work at the production facility for free. Now, they recruit women from 18 to 22 years old from #Uganda, #Rwanda, #Kenya, #South_Sudan, #Sierra_Leone, and #Nigeria. The campaign is also spreading to #Asian countries (#Bangladesh, #Sri_Lanka) and #Latin_America. There is a branch designed to recruit female workers from some #CIS countries.

Voice of America (VOA News) · Expert: Several African governments unaware of young workers in Russian drone factoriesBy Matthew Kupfer

‼️I think this is very important. Please help share this information.

A #Voice_of_America investigation has found that some #African countries are deliberately establishing ties with #Russian organizations that produce Shahed drones behind the recruitment program.

▪️ Recruitment under false pretences

The website of the #Russian program #Alabuga_Start portrays a bright future for #African women in #Tatarstan, #Russia.

Over the past several months, #Ukraine drones have penetrated ever deeper into Russian territory, striking an oil refinery as far away from the border as the northwestern city of St. Petersburg, and more recently, a drone assembly plant in the republic of #Tatarstan. Increasingly, these air attacks are sapping into #Russia’s diesel and gasoline production, which #Kyiv hopes will hit the #Kremlin’s wallet and reduce the availability of fuel for Russia’s war machine.
