Probably for Wagner people before the war, not the rate the prisoner or where ever the hell they now recruit from.
These people most likely get a significantly reduced rate.
a Normal Russian conscript are paying around $900 per month if I remember correctly.
Private sector always, ALWAYS pay more than government paygrade.
One of the big PMC actually approach me and ask me to join them with a significant payrise after I got out. I was earning around $5700 a month in the Army, their pay package is almost 5 times that.
But then PMC like to hire people that have special skill, I have knowledge on NATO communication framework and structure, and have had actual experience running intelligence operation, which is a giant plus for them to recruit.
Security forces (Army/ AF/ navy) and teachers are backbone of a country. One safeguard nations and other build / bring up new generation and both are not paid well in USA. Why are the Americans going in wrong direction?Sure -- NO.
When I was active duty, there were many US veterans in the service of other countries in many specialties, but most of them are in non-combat positions. They are technically 'mercenaries' in the widest context of the word but not mercenaries in the practical sense. A retired F-15 pilot serving as a 'technical advisor' to the Saudi Air Force is technically a 'mercenary' even though he would never strap in a jet and fly combat missions for Saudi Arabia, and in that advisory job, he would be paid more than his USAF active duty counterparts. After I got out, based on my F-111 and F-16 yrs, I could have made 6-figures easily even in the 1990s. But I chose not to take that path.
If we are talking about sworn service members and not mercenaries or 'contractors', then 'No', the average Russian soldier, airman, sailor, and marine are not paid more than their US counterparts, especially if we are looking at the conscripted ranks. We are not talking about an emergency raise in pay to get fighting men for this Russia-Ukraine War but about the average wage that the Russian military pay for a peacetime military.

Russians Offered Three Times Average Salary to Fight in Ukraine
Battalions are being formed in Moscow and elsewhere to recruit mercenaries for Putin's invasion of Ukraine.www.newsweek.com
As Newsweek previously reported, investigative media outlet Important Stories found Russian prisoners in St. Petersburg are being offered freedom and money if they join Putin's war against Ukraine.Relatives of prisoners serving sentences in the city told the publication that the notorious Russian mercenary Wagner Group is offering to pay 200,000 rubles and an amnesty, for six months of "voluntary" service in the Donbas region—if the prisoners return alive.And Russian authorities are continuing to recruit contract workers en masse without announcing war mobilization, according to the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation under the country's National Security and Defense Council, which found that more than 22,200 vacancies for contract servicemen have appeared in regional employment centers.An umemployed man from Tatarstan told Important Stories that he was offered a salary of about 300,000 rubles ($5,126) a month to join Putin's war in Ukraine.
...Is not how the US recruit.
that explain all this war from both side
wrong proof is essential and as you can't prove it , then Iran did not do that , but aide to Zelensky admitted their involvement in Isfahan failure so here Ukraine is aggressor .
its not applicable because nowhere in that law allowed the aggression of a non neutral country . more importantly , the law is supersede by the laws that come after it , namely UN resolution and charter and according to them you only can attack a country if UNSC allow it . now go and get that permission from UNSC if you can
for years we cried that UNSC have become a useless toy in the hand of the VETO right owner and nobody cared because it suited them . now you can reap the fruit of not hearing our warning
Russian Foreign Minister was first happy that a normal country (not Iran, N. Korea, not Syria) is now coming into a neutral orbit and visiting him. Two minutes before this the advisers told the FM that btw, Pakistan is on verge of default and a serious problem. Russian FM is digesting that news that 'ah I see, they are coming out of desperation' look on his faceCan't tell if they are happy or grimacing:-
Question is when will Putin go ballistic and nuclear?
You pathetic non-Turkish idiot and devoid of any forum decorum. Why are you posting news on Turkey here. Also post youtube video of eating food. Its almost like you are somebody who is not Turkish wanting to make Turkey look bad by putting this post. Or is Turkey part of Ukraine and Russia and sending its F-16s to fight.Bye Bye F-35: Turkey Successfully Upgrades Turkey F-16
More weapons, more economic sanctions. The West will squeeze Russia to the point Putin won’t be able to pay the Wagner hooligans. Russia hydrocarbons will halve this year to $180 billion. If price cap on oil sinks lower to, let’s say to $30 then will be more interesting. Reducing Russia exports revenues by 50 pct every year as long as the war continues.
the western economies will take a hard hit. But hey, let’s see who goes bankrupt first.
Breakingviews - Trying to bankrupt Russia could backfire
Sanctions on Russia are back under discussion. Eleven months after President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine triggered a barrage of economic reprisals from the United States and its allies, some are pushing for further restrictions on oil and gas exports. But doing so would carry big...www.reuters.com
Some country try to stop loss their people by having comparable packages to private sector.Security forces (Army/ AF/ navy) and teachers are backbone of a country. One safeguard nations and other build / bring up new generation and both are not paid well in USA. Why are the Americans going in wrong direction?
On topic, new arm transfer including 100+ tanks are not enough for Ukraine to win. Whole united west has announced full support to Ukraine, why aren't they providing full support to get this war over at the earliest?
Now coming some jokers. If the West continue squeeze the Russia economy, if the Chinese buy less, or oil or gas price sinking more than expected, then well. Putin will sell national assets as we have seen lately he sells yuan holdings.
non-neutral == involved in the war.
You are not attacking Iran in this case. You are defending yourself against Iranian aggression, which is allowed.
The chances is that Iran will reap the fruit of not being neutral.
