The first rule of capitalism, if there is a need, people will find a way. Yes, I know it is cynical but it is also pragmatic.
If there is a demand, a supplier will find them. You need food, someone has food. You need weapons, someone has weapons. You need soldiers, someone has soldiers. Lowest price wins. Sometimes the price isn't just monetary. Sometimes the lowest price includes people not asking questions.
American, French and British mercenaries are expensive and ask questions because they might get arrested when they get home. Russian mercenearies don't have to worry these considerations. Ultimately, it all goes back to Capitalism. If there is a need, people will find a way to fulfill it.
