India Warns Citizens Against Joining Russian Armed Forces

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India has issued multiple advisories warning Indian nationals against joining the Russian armed forces. The warnings come amid reports of Indians being recruited into the military, often lured by monetary benefits. The MEA cautions against giving up Indian citizenship and obtaining Russian passports for this purpose, stating that such actions expose individuals to mortal danger. The government has also warned about non-public entities recruiting foreign nationals for the Russian armed forces. It urges citizens to exercise due diligence and avoid unverified job offers. The government remains engaged with Russia to ensure the safety and early discharge of Indian nationals serving in its armed forces.
