A Cuban teenager was offered a job doing 'construction work' in Russia. Instead he was sent to fight on the front lines in Ukraine. (www.businessinsider.com)

TIME reviewed the job contracts, which it said required a one-year commitment, but came with an enlistment fee and a payout for the families of recruits if they are killed in action.

Uh... This seems pretty straightforward, to me.

Yeah, saying that they will be in action if they could die in action is pretty solid. Lost in translation perhaps?

I found this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4838DPW9ETo&pp=ygUQY3ViYW5vcyBlbiBydXNpYQ%3D%3D

And they claim they were told they would rebuild cities destroyed in the war, but not take part in it. So they were expecting to go to Ukraine, just not as soldiers.

I don't have a lot of trust in any of the parties involved in this, I'm just reporting it.
