British-trained former Afghan spies are being recruited by Russia for the war in Ukraine, the Telegraph can reveal, having failed to secure relocation to the UK after the Taliban took over last year.
Former intelligence officers are being offered cash bounties of $10,000 and monthly salaries for joining Putin’s war effort, with their families offered homes and security in Russia.
Many former members of the Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS) are taking up the offer as they feel they have been left behind by Britain and other western countries that employed them during the fighting in Afghanistan.
