The Kremlin said last week that volunteers, including those from Syria, are welcome to fight alongside the Russian army in Ukraine.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Russian officers, in coordination with the Syrian army and affiliated military groups, set up recruiting offices in various regions.
"Over 40,000 Syrians have registered to fight alongside the Russians in Ukraine so far," said Rami Abdall Rahman, who heads the UK-based observatory, which has a wide network of sources in Syria.
The Observatory said it has no confirmed reports yet of Syrians who have left for Ukraine. A Syrian government spokesman denied that the recruitment described by the Observatory is taking place.
