India is pursuing the release of around 24 of its nationals who are still serving in the Russian Army, the Ministry of External Affairs said. The ministry also reported that 139 Indians have already been brought back. In the same statement, the MEA cautioned people against falling for dubious job offers that lead them into such situations. The warning suggests that some Indians may have been recruited into the Russian military through misleading employment schemes. The ministry did not provide further details on the circumstances of those still serving or the exact nature of the job offers. The announcement underscores India's ongoing efforts to repatriate its citizens from the war zone. The fact that 139 have already returned indicates a significant number of rescues, while the remaining 24 are still a focus of diplomatic attention. The MEA's advice appears aimed at preventing more Indians from being caught up in the conflict through deceptive recruitment. The statement offered no timeline for the return of the remaining nationals or specifics about how their release is being pursued. This development highlights the broader issue of foreign nationals being drawn into the conflict, and India's response to protect its citizens.
