“How does that work? Tajikistan is an independent country, not part of Russia.”
Foreign volunteers? Ukraine has some foreign volunteers, so it’s easy to assume Russia does, as well.
But Tajikistan as a nation has not committed troops to this war.

Russia is pulling recruits from her muslim satellites. Tajikistan is only independent till (in their view) Russia decides it is not.
