India Issues Advisory Warning Citizens Against Joining Russian Armed Forces
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has issued a fresh advisory warning Indian nationals against joining the Russian armed forces amid ongoing reports of recruitment during the Ukraine conflict. The government cautions that some individuals are lured by monetary benefits and may wrongly expect assistance from India for release. The MEA strongly discourages this, highlighting the risks and dangers involved, and advises citizens to verify job offers and avoid unverified sources. Diplomatic efforts continue to secure the release of Indians currently serving in Russia.
