The Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine (FISU) reported that at least eight Indonesian citizens were recruited as Russian mercenaries to fight against Kyiv. In a statement issued on August 27, the FISU revealed the recruitment of these eight individuals after obtaining copies of Russian Foreign Ministry communications regarding visa processing for Indonesian citizens. The initial individuals were identified as YPP, HDK, ENHF, SM, MMH, IWO, and HNH. The FISU suggested that they were likely lured by the prospect of substantial pay or a high monthly salary, prompting them to join the ranks of Russian mercenaries.[1]

According to information from various investigative reports and accounts from migrant workers who managed to escape the battlefield, foreign soldiers are promised pay that varies but is considered high by the standards of their home countries. Citing a German news agency, the monthly salary for foreign mercenaries working for Russia ranges from US$2,000 to US$2,500 (equivalent to approximately IDR 32 million to IDR 40 million). This figure is based on the testimony of a Sri Lankan national named Walasmulla, who was promised a monthly salary of US$2,300 to serve as a Russian mercenary. He stated that he received an initial payment of US$2,000 upon first joining Russian forces on the battlefield against Ukraine. Walasmulla provided this account after being detained by Ukrainian forces following a serious injury. In reality, however, many of them do not receive their full wages, or are not paid at all.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
