Indian Nationals Seek Discharge from Russian Military

Around 50 Indian nationals have contacted the government for assistance in being discharged from the Russian military. The Indian government has been working on this issue since Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed it with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his July visit to Moscow.

Around 50 Indian nationals have reached out to the government, requesting assistance to be discharged from the Russian military, according to India's foreign ministry spokesperson on Friday.

Earlier this month, Russia promised to release the Indians who were allegedly induced to join its army under false pretenses. The commitment came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised the matter with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his July 8-9 visit to Moscow.

The Indian government is actively working on resolving the issue and ensuring the safe return of its citizens.
