History
2023: Official support for Ukraine during Russia's special operation and hundreds of mercenaries from both sides of the conflict
In the conflict in Ukraine, Gurkhas are fighting on both front lines - the famous Nepalese mercenary military, wrote the Nepalese edition of The Diplomat in June 2023. This people is known as mercenaries of the British army, who participated in the suppression of anti-colonial uprisings in India, in the First and Second World Wars.
"A long tradition of serving in the foreign military - and a lack of prospects at home - has drawn young Nepalese into the conflict," Nepalese media wrote.
Hundreds of Nepalese poured into Russia's military for the contract after Russia simplified access to citizenship after a year of military service on May 16. Some left the service in the Nepalese army for this. You don't have to know Russian - English is enough.
Nepalese are already undergoing training at training grounds and say that weapons in the Russian Federation are used more modern than at home.
At the same time, official Nepal adheres to the policy of supporting Kyiv and claims that sending the military to non-UN missions is contrary to its policy. However, this never stopped the militant Nepalese, who had previously enrolled in the French Foreign Legion and the US Army by the thousands.
