Putin recruits mercenaries worldwide: Indians lured into the Ukraine war with tricks – “Were tricked”. Seven young men from India have published a call for help to the Indian government.

They claim they are being held against their will in Russia. It remains unclear whether the men actually traveled to the country for tourism reasons or because of the prospect of a better job. At least three of them were “forced” to fight alongside Russian soldiers, according to the report. An Indian citizen has already died in a rocket attack within the Ukrainian border.
