Minister for External Affairs S. Jaishankar has promised stern legal action against recruitment agents that had duped youth from India into fighting for Russia in its war against Ukraine.
Expressing deep concern on job-aspirants from Kerala getting trapped and pushed to the war front on the Russia-Ukraine border, Mr. Jaishankar told media persons here on Thursday that the government has taken up the issue with Russia through diplomatic channels.
“It is totally unacceptable that any Indian should be taken to a conflict zone and in any manner, be made to work for an army in a conflict. This is a matter of strong concern for us. We called in the Russian Ambassador. Our Ambassador in Moscow was also instructed to go to the Foreign Ministry (in Russia),” he said.
