India Warns Citizens to Avoid Joining Russian Army in Ukraine Conflict

Defense News ,Ukraine Russia war , India :- India is telling its citizens to stay away from the conflict in Ukraine and not join the Russian army. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued this warning after hearing that some Indians have joined the Russian army for support jobs in the conflict.

MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaishwal is worried about this and said, "We know that a few Indians have joined the Russian Army." Jaishwal also mentioned that the Indian embassy in Moscow is working with Russian authorities to bring back any Indians in these roles early.

Jaishwal emphasized, "We advise all Indians to be careful and stay away from this conflict."

This concern arose when Mohammad Sufiyan from Hyderabad was tricked by agents and forced to fight for Russia in Ukraine. His family is asking the government and MEA to safely bring back these young people and take strong action against the responsible agents.

Asaduddin Owaisi, an AIMIM MP, is also worried. He is urging the Indian government to talk to the Russian government and bring back the 12 trapped youths. AIMIM posted, "The Narendra Modi government should talk to the Russian government and bring back the 12 youths trapped in the Russia-Ukraine war."

Imran, Sufiyan's brother, shared how his brother got involved. Sufiyan was recruited by Baba Blocks Company, which works in Dubai, Delhi, and Mumbai. The company promised jobs as army helpers but sent them into Ukraine instead.

Imran tried seeking help from the Embassy and MEA but is frustrated with the lack of concrete assistance. He urges the government to bring back the trapped youths and take strict action against the agents.

The Indian government promises to work with Russian authorities to safely bring back any Indians in support roles with the Russian army. They advise citizens to be cautious and avoid getting involved in the conflict in Ukraine.
