New Delhi – Russia has promised to repatriate Indians pressured into military service, some of them in Ukraine, after talks between President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Up to 50 Indian nationals are believed to have fallen victim to the scheme, with reports of four fatalities on the Ukrainian front.
Between 35 and 50 Indian nationals have been recruited into Russia's wartime forces against their will, according to India's Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra.
