The Kerala government has sought the urgent intervention of the Union government and the Russian Embassy in New Delhi to bring back Keralites stuck in the Russia-Ukraine war zone.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on March 22 (Friday) wrote to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar seeking his urgent intervention in the matter and to impress upon Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to facilitate their “early and safe repatriation.”
Mr. Vijayan pointed out that the three Anchuthengu natives, identified by the NoRKA department as Mr. Tinu, Mr. Prince and Mr. Vineeth, were cheated by an “unscrupulous agent” and were forced to join the Russian military. They were posted at the war front after 15 days of training.
