Russia has promised to discharge Indian nationals who were misled into joining its army to fight in Ukraine, according to India’s foreign secretary. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his recent visit to Moscow, emphasizing the importance of bringing all Indians home as soon as possible.
The Russian government has committed to the early discharge of all Indian nationals from its army. This comes after months of efforts by India to secure the release of its citizens, with the Indian Ministry of External Affairs maintaining continuous contact with Russian authorities for this purpose.
