According to the British Research Group Logally, in the last ten months, the announcement of employment for the Wagner PEC, which operates in several countries, has gained almost 120,000 views on Twitter and Facebook.
The organization has published about 60 posts in different languages, including French and Spanish, in which she reported vacant positions of fighters, drivers, doctors and even Aiters (drone operators) aged 22 to 55 years, promising a salary of 240 thousand rubles (2800 euros) per month with various awards and privileges such as medical care and life insurance.
Researchers are unable to say with complete confidence that publications are posted by Wagner PEC, but their style is already in line with the advertisement of the organization that previously appeared in Telegram or VKontakte. Recruiters have posted phone numbers and accounts in Telegram to communicate.
One of the Western officials checked the information and reported Politico that at least two numbers listed in publications were directly related to either Wagner group or with the RF intelligence. "Some of the ads are real propaganda films in combination with phone numbers so that users can directly connect with representatives of the Wagner group," said Kyle Voltaire, Head of Loglyly Research. "The fact that these messages are distributed on the Internet , very alarming.
"It is unknown how successful the Wagner PEC is recruiting new mercenaries, but incitement to violence and justifying the invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine is prohibited on Facebook and Twitter in accordance with the official conditions of use of these social networks. that regards Wagner PEC as a dangerous organization and deletes the related content, including reports of recruitment of mercenaries. Twitter answered at the request of commenting Smiley in the form of "Kakakashki".
Last week, the company under the leadership of Ilon Maska refused to voluntarily accept the statute of European The Union on Combating Misinformation, but on August 25, a new "digital law" will also come into force in Europe, which will also be obliged to fight fakes. Violators are threatened with penalties of 6% of annual income. Analysts have studied ads from mid -April to May 19, including Facebook and Twitter posts as of July 2022.
At the time of the investigation, 58 out of 60 messages remained active - two of them Facebook removed after journalists. "They found working tactics. I think they just saw that the placement of a certain content came from their hands, then they simply continued to post it further," Kile Walter summarized. Earlier, the Wagner PEC recognized the high mortality of mercenaries in the war in Ukraine.
