India has uncovered a significant human trafficking network that deceived Indian nationals into fighting for Russia in the Ukraine conflict, with about 35 men sent so far. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has launched operations across several Indian states, conducting searches in 7 cities, busting this network involved in sending Indian youths to the Russia-Ukraine war zone under the guise of lucrative job offers. Multiple cases have been reported where Indian men, lured by promises of employment, found themselves coerced into joining the war against Ukraine, with at least two young Indian men losing their lives in battle. The Indian government has strongly condemned these actions, initiating strong measures against the agents and networks responsible, while also taking up the matter with the Russian government for the early discharge of the Indian nationals involved.
