It came after Russian President Vladimir Putin last week gave the green light for volunteers from the Middle East to be deployed alongside Moscow-backed rebels to fight in Ukraine.<br \/>\nAt a meeting of Russia\u2019s Security Council in Moscow, Putin said: \u201cIf you see that there are people who want to come on a voluntary basis, not for money, and support people living in Donbas, well, we need to come to meet them and help them move to the war zone.\u201d<br \/>\nRussian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu had said there were 16,000 volunteers in the Middle East who were ready to come to fight alongside Russian-backed forces in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.<br \/>\nRussia\u2019s \u201cspecial military operation,\u201d which started on Feb. 24, has drawn international condemnation, led to severe financial restrictions on Moscow and spurred an exodus of global firms from Russia.<br \/>\nAt least 816 civilians have been killed and 1,333 injured in Ukraine since the beginning of the war, and more than 3.27 million people have fled to neighbouring countries, according to UN estimates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyiv claims Moscow
