India confronts Russia over a significant human trafficking network luring men with promised jobs, ultimately coerced into fighting in Ukraine. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announces strong action against agents behind the scheme, as around 35 Indian nationals fall victim. MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal assures efforts for the early return of duped individuals, with two reported deaths in combat. Efforts are underway to locate and assist affected families, emphasizing the urgency to bring back those deceived by false promises. The incident underscores the need for international cooperation in combating human trafficking.
