š° Indian Fighting for Russian Army Surrenders in Ukraine š®š³āļø
TL;DR:A 22-year-old Indian from Gujarat, Majoti Sahil Mohamed Hussein, surrendered to Ukrainian forces after fighting for Russiaās army. š·šŗ He reportedly joined to escape a prison sentence in Russia. The Indian Embassy in Kyiv is verifying the claim.
Ukrainian troops captured Hussein after he surrendered to the 63rd Mechanised BrigadeĀ just three days into battle.
He told Ukrainian soldiers that he joined Russiaās army to avoid a 7-year jail termĀ after a drug-related case.
In a video released by Ukraine, Hussein says: āI didnāt want to stay in prison, so I signed up for the special military operation.ā
Hussein reportedly received only 16 days of trainingĀ before being sent to the frontlines on October 1.
After arguing with his commander, he decided to give himself up, saying he ānever received the money promised.ā
Over 150 IndiansĀ are believed to have been recruited or misled into fighting for Russia since 2022.
India has asked Moscow to repatriate 27 citizensĀ serving with Russian forces; at least 12 IndiansĀ have died in the war.
Loser:Ā Hussein ā trapped in a war not his own, now a prisoner of Ukraine.
Losses:Ā Families of Indians caught in false job promises that turned into military contracts.
Gains:Ā None ā only cautionary lessons.
This highlights the growing desperation among Indian youth abroad ā chasing opportunities that end in exploitation. Many were reportedly lured with ālogistics jobsā or fake security contracts. š
War never needs more soldiers ā it needs fewer victims. šļø Governments must act faster to protect citizens from being tricked into foreign conflicts under false pretenses.
