Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: About 50 Indian nationals currently serving with the Russian military have approached Indian authorities seeking help to be discharged and both countries are working to find a resolution to the matter, the external affairs ministry said on Friday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also raised the matter with Russian President Vladimir Putin during their recent annual summit in Moscow and sought the early discharge and repatriation of the Indian nationals. When external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal was asked at a regular media briefing about the status of efforts to bring back the Indian nationals from Russia, he said that, according to citizens serving in the Russian military and their families, about 50 Indians have so far sought help for their discharge. The Russian side has responded positively, we are both working for early discharge of the Indian nationals and hopefully, they’ll come back home soon.” Ten Indians who were recruited by the Russian Army have already returned to the country.
