Belarusians are being recruited into the Russian army via Instagram

Belarusians are invited to Smolensk to sign a contract with the Russian army. Belarusian independent journalists found an advertisement for recruitment to the Russian army in the Instagram news feed.

The advertising post was shown to an account localized in Belarus. There are comments from Belarusians in the discussion, and this confirms the assumption that the advertisement was targeted at Belarusian Instagram users. 

The promotional post was posted on October 2, but new comments are still appearing under it. The message contains a link to a website dedicated to recruiting for contract service in the Russian army. 

Visitors to the site are offered to sign a contract with the Russian army in Smolensk. The address at which the contract is signed is the building of the administration of the Smolensk region.
