Russia's Wagner mercenary group puts ad on PORNHUB for new recruits trends now
The feared Russian Wagner mercenary group has become so desperate for recruits after heavy losses on the battlefields of Ukraine that it has turned to Pornhub to recruit soldiers.
Wagner placed a provocative ad on the porn site in which male viewers were told to stop pleasuring themselves and instead join the private army and fight in Ukraine.
In the since deleted ad, a blonde woman wearing red lipstick is seen seductively sucking a large lollipop while another woman's voice huskily says in the background: 'We are the coolest army in the world.'

Indeed, the MoD added: 'Prigozhin is highly likely pivoting recruitment efforts towards free Russian citizens.'
Prigozhin said on Friday Wagner had opened recruitment centres in 42 cities as he seeks to replenish its ranks after heavy losses in fighting for Bakhmut.
