Release all Indians serving in Russian military, says India after one more death
Hindustan TimesNEW DELHI: India on Tuesday demanded that Russia release all Indian nationals serving in its military following the death of another citizen on the frontlines of the conflict in Ukraine, taking the number of deaths so far to 10. “We have learnt of the unfortunate death of an Indian national from Kerala who had apparently been recruited to serve in the Russian Army,” external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. “We have also reiterated our demand for the early discharge of the remaining Indian nationals,” he said without giving details of how many Indians are currently serving with the Russian military. Indian officials said last October that a total of 85 Indian nationals recruited by the Russian military had been discharged, and that authorities were working for the release of another 20 citizens. The Russian embassy in New Delhi said last year the recruitment of Indians into Russia’s armed forces was stopped in April 2024, and authorities were ensuring the early discharge of those who “voluntarily contracted for military service”.
