Desperate to replenish their depleted ranks, Russian leader Vladimir Putin's private army posted an advertisement to the adult film website Pornhub.
The video ad showed a blonde woman seductively sucking on a lollipop while a sexualized voice told potential recruits that Wagner โis the coolest private Army in the world.โ
The sultry female voice providing the narration had a not-so-subtle message, basically implying the men watching the video should leave their basements and head to the front. (RELATED: Hard Blow To Putin โ No More Viagra For Russia)
As the Daily Mail reports:
โWe are recruiting fighters from all regions of Russia. Don't whack off, go work for PMC Wagner,' the woman says before the phone number of Wagner recruiters appears in the middle of the screen.
The video was posted on Pornhub and was viewed in Russia before the site removed the ad, reportsย Pravda.
Wagner's desperate push to recruit more soldiers โ even using means such as Pornhub to do so โ comes as the mercenary group has suffered heavy losses in Ukraine โ especially in the besieged Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.ย
On Monday, the UK's Ministry of Defence said Wagner chief Vevgeny Prigozhin had likely lost access to recruiting Russian prisoners โdue to his ongoing disputes with the Russian MoD leadership'.
Of course, the narrator didn't mention the horrendous casualties in Ukraine or that Russian prisoners of war have told their Ukrainian captors that new recruits are used as bait in human wave attacks to expose Ukrainian positions to more capable Russian assaults.

Nor was there any mention of the 20,000-odd convicts they'd be fighting alongside in Ukraine, including reported serial killers and at least one cannibal.
Since December 2022, Western intelligence estimates that 4,500 Wagner soldiers have died in the Battle of Bakhmut, 90% being convicts and new recruits.
