They'll have signed up for an initial five years, so each year there'll be at least a hundred or so ex-FFP who will be available - the number could be much larger.

From what I was told, they're being recruited directly by people within the legion who are pro-Russia.

Probably being paid a fortune and told they'll serve in Africa

I suspect there's quite a few Ukrainians, who've suffered attacks on their own cities, who'll wish it to be true. Whether that's the best choice is questionable.

From a strategic point of view, it would likely cause massive reprisals within the short-term, which would obviously be a negative. Some may say short-sighted.

Nevertheless, in the long term, it would likely mean precious manpower and resources would be taken up protecting key sites and taking the FSB's attention.
