孟加拉国警方称，他们逮捕了两名涉嫌与一个欺骗性招募当地人为俄罗斯在乌克兰作战的贩卖网络有关联的人。
Police in Bangladesh have arrested two people they say are linked to a trafficking network that deceptively recruited locals to fight for Russia in Ukraine.
警方精英部队特别应营指挥官穆罕默德·阿萨杜扎曼周三表示，被识别为米扎努尔·拉赫曼和阿布·塔赫尔的嫌疑人，以高薪工作的虚假承诺为诱饵，将至少30人贩运至俄罗斯。一旦抵达国外，受害者的护照和手机被没收，随后被交给俄罗斯军方，他说。
The suspects, identified as Mizanur Rahman and Abu Taher, trafficked at least 30 people to Russia with false promises of high-paying jobs, Mohammad Asaduzzaman, commander of the elite police force Special Response Battalion, said on Wednesday. Once abroad, the victims’ passports and phones were taken, and they were handed over to the Russian military, he said.
阿萨杜扎曼表示，在5月初抵达俄罗斯的17名贩卖受害者，在接受极少的培训后，于首次部署的第一天被杀。共有20名孟加拉国公民被确认死亡。
Seventeen of the trafficking victims, who arrived in Russia in early May, were killed on the first day of deployment after being given minimal training, Asaduzzaman said. A total of 20 Bangladeshis have been confirmed dead.
他说：“孟加拉国人被用作诱饵来定位敌方位置。” “在孟加拉国人成为无人机袭击的受害者后，俄罗斯军方据此决定了他们的下一步行动。” 警方援引一名受伤并设法返回家乡的幸存者的话称，除了被杀的20名孟加拉国人之外，还有2人正在莫斯科医院接受治疗，另有6人仍在战场上。
“Bangladeshis were used as bait to locate enemy positions,” he said. “Russian forces determined their next course of action after the Bangladeshis fell victim to drone attacks.”In addition to the 20 Bangladeshis killed, two more are being treated in a Moscow hospital while six others are still on the battlefield, police cited a survivor who was injured and managed to return home as saying.
孟加拉国媒体报道称，这些受害者来自贫困背景，为虚假工作支付了约8000美元才被带到俄罗斯。
The victims were from poor backgrounds and had paid around $8,000 for the fake jobs that brought them to Russia, Bangladeshi media reported.
自俄罗斯四年半前发动对乌克兰的入侵以来，俄罗斯和乌克兰都已向各自军队招募了数千名外国人。
Both Russia and Ukraine have recruited thousands of foreign nationals into their armies since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine four and a half years ago.
据称，来自136个国家的约28,000名外国人正在俄罗斯军队中作战，官员认为莫斯科部署了约14,000名朝鲜军队参与作战，以应对乌克兰在2024年对库尔斯克地区的入侵。
An estimated 28,000 foreigners from 136 countries are said to be fighting in the Russian army, and officials believe Moscow deployed some 14,000 North Korean troops to battle Ukraine’s 2024 incursion into the Kursk region.
与此同时，乌克兰表示，目前有来自70多个国家的16,000名外国人正在其军队中服役，其中包括近40%的拉丁美洲人。
Meanwhile, Ukraine says 16,000 foreign nationals from more than 70 countries – including nearly 40 percent from Latin America – are currently serving in its army.
乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基上个月在联合国大会上发言时警告称，俄罗斯欺骗性地从47个国家招募人员参与一场“绝对残酷”的行动，并呼吁各国不要让莫斯科“拖”它们进入战争。
Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly last month, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia deceptively recruits people from 47 countries for an “absolutely brutal” campaign and urged countries not to let Moscow “drag” them into the war.
大赦国际也指责俄罗斯使用“欺骗性、胁迫性和剥削性”手段招募外国人前往乌克兰前线作战。此前，俄罗斯曾否认强迫外国人加入其军队的指控。
Amnesty International has also accused Russia of using “deceptive, coercive and exploitative practices” to recruit foreigners to fight on the Ukrainian front. Russia has previously dismissed accusations of coercing foreigners into joining its army.
大赦国际表示，由于无法进入俄罗斯关押的战俘，且该组织被俄罗斯指定为“外国代理人”，因此无法对乌克兰军队中的外国人进行调查。
Amnesty says it cannot conduct inquiries about foreigners in Ukraine’s army as it has no access to prisoners of war held in Russia, which designates the rights group as a “foreign agent”.
