Families of foreign citizens recruited into the Russian military to fight in Ukraine are facing severe emotional and financial distress as their relatives go missing on the front lines. Many recruits, originating from countries such as Nepal, India, and various African nations, were reportedly enticed by promises of high salaries and fast-tracked citizenship. However, minimal communication and a lack of official information from Russian authorities have left families in uncertainty regarding the fate of their loved ones.
- Foreign nationals from countries like Nepal and India have been recruited to serve in the Russian armed forces during the conflict in Ukraine.
- Many recruits were attracted by offers of high salaries, support packages, and expedited Russian citizenship.
- Families report a sudden loss of communication with the soldiers shortly after they were sent to the front lines.
- Government authorities in Russia have provided little to no official information regarding the status, whereabouts, or potential casualties of these foreign fighters.
- The lack of official confirmation prevents families from receiving closure, recovering remains, or accessing promised financial compensation.

Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦💪
Is Russia tempting poor much worse than Ukraine beating, physically dragging unwilling men to war as rich men in Kiev bribe way out? Ukraine and Russia governments are both corrupt and do evil. This is a civil war the West turned into proxy war. Kiev is controlled by corrupt Entertainment moguls and Azov white nationalists. Zelensky admin are not good guys, no better than Putin regime.
Since they support Putin, normal they fight and die for him
😰💔🙏
The Ukrainian army is also recruiting foreigners under the same or worse conditions
Contract, combat, coffin, repeat…
Should I feel sorry for those who want to kill for money ? I don't think so 😂
Not new , after ww1 same. Prob more diverse
But why we must care for Putin? We are sending TAX money to Ukraine and they stealing money and nobody can found Mindich in Israel with stolen tax money. I think is more interesting story for news than this. 🤷🏻♂️
The price of nationalism. Vote liberal next time.
Maybe they can find Ukrainian drone videos of their last moment alive? Perhaps that will give them some closure.
The "Global South" loves to criticise us in the "collecive West". Whether that be an American or a Swede. Yet they go to fight for effing imperialist Russia.
Ukraine also recruits the same way 😂
It's not just soldiers who go to war for Russia who are dying.
That all you can say 😂😂😂
What happened to Dog Tags? I have my father's Dog Tags from Vietnam – he was grieviously wounded, but at least they could tell who he mostly was. If Russia at least issue metal identifiers, Ukraine could notify their families.
What a cruel world we live in. Billions of people die everyday because of the virtual human construct of money. I am so sorry for everybody, we are doomed
I blame the evil putin.
Except for the ones that are deceived or coerced the others knew what they were getting into.
Now we are guilt tripped for African mercenaries in Russia! They were promised medical doctor jobs IN RUSSIA!😂😂😂
…actually no! They went there to fight, kill and possibly get shot in the face!😂
Bangladesh, Kenya and Cuba. Previously North Korean fighters as well. This is weirdly sadistic. If our president, donnie, had more sense he’d side with Ukraine. I think Putin has some bad dirt on him and would broadcast it across the globe if don don doesn’t play along.
At this point, the most politically unaware person should know you never believe anything declared by the Russian government.
Sorry, no. I'm poor too but I would never participate in a war of aggression. They deserved it.
Can we get a documentary of all the Ukrainian men who were dragged into the van and sent to the frontline? Ukrainian live matter too
Are we supposed to feel sorry for people that went to a foreign country to kill innocent people for money?
Phillip.
The best way to envy the Russians is to say that everything is going badly in their homes!
😂😂😂😂😂
Only,
1. Why they are not yet starving despite sanctions ❓️
2.2 Why their army continues to advance despite hundreds of billions in aid ❓️
😂😂😂😂😂
It might raise questions of how so many Irish Sikhs Burmese died in British wars. British poor boys given a previously used uniform and a gun and sent off to kill other poor boys in the colonies. Serving the profits of the investors. Presumably true in the German Dutch Spanish Portuguese colonies.
As long as the dictator Vladimir Pooptin is still alive, more deaths, more suffering for our human beings including Russian themselves. Pooptin has been in power nearly 30 years already and no one else in Russia is allowed to be the President, but him.
You mean like the US soldiers in middle east. 😂😂😂
This is karma. Taking money to kill people that have done nothing to you and you’ve lost my respect. Getting killed or wounded is a just outcome
Russia uses cubans and Ukraine using Columbians , pathetic countries can't handle the wars they wanted
Ukraine is the side taking most of mercenaries..especially from Colombia. And they get treated like cannon fodder.
I have absolute zero sympathy.
Mercenary's choice – mercenary's fate, period!
😂😂😂😂
What about Ukraine???
FAFO award
Before the war, russia was touted as Top 3 Most Powerful Military in the World!
Having to recruit foreign fighters to fight its war against a #25 Military is SHAMEFUL!
russia was exposed a paper tiger!
Ukraine is doing the same BTW, both sides recruiting abroad
Russia is a brutal hellscape, seeking to spread its misery to the entire planet.
🌻 fertilizer now
So, enlighten me about Ukrainian recruitment methods. All willing volunteers, are they?
What about the Ukrainian side 🤔
