India Issues Urgent Advisory Against Nationals Joining Russian Armed Forces
The Ministry of External Affairs has issued a stern warning strongly advising Indian nationals to refrain from joining the Russian armed forces.
This comes in response to growing concerns over citizens being lured into combat roles by fraudulent agencies promising lucrative overseas employment and monetary benefits.
The government emphasized that volunteering for foreign militaries involves grave physical risks, including life-threatening situations in conflict zones.
New Delhi highlighted troubling cases where individuals sought foreign passports or relinquished Indian citizenship without proper consultation, complicating consular assistance.
India's diplomatic missions continue active engagements with Russian authorities to secure the swift discharge and safe repatriation of trapped citizens.
Several individuals have already returned home following official intervention, while tragic casualties among recruits remain a matter of deep concern.
Authorities urge citizens to exercise extreme caution, avoid unverified job portals, and report fraudulent agents immediately. Families seeking assistance regarding loved ones stranded abroad can reach out directly to Indian diplomatic channels for support.
