Pro-Ukrainian hackers posted images of the passports of 192 people on September 6 – all Cuban except for one Colombian – on Telegram. They also posted documents showing that these men had been recruited by a Russian army officer to fight for the Russian Army in Ukraine. The FRANCE 24 Observers team exchanged messages with two of these recruits, who said that they had agreed to fight for the Russians for financial reasons.
The Telegram account “Cyber Résistance”, which calls itself a group of “hacktivists” and says it has been working with Ukrainian authorities for nearly a decade, posted scans of 192 passports, all belonging to Cuban men except for one Colombian, on September 6 and 7. The group also posted images of official documents stating that these men had arrived in Russia – and what they say is a template of a contract in Spanish for enlistment in the Russian Army.
