So far, several men from Punjab, Kashmir, Karnataka, Gujarat, and Telangana have been trapped fighting Russia’s war with Ukraine. Most of them looking for better jobs, landed in Russia after being duped through a YouTube channel promising more money. The Indian Express spoke to the families of these men who said they were tricked into believing they were applying for jobs as helpers in offices of the Russian government, mostly in Moscow, but were forced to head to the frontlines.

Hopefully stories like this will travel and fewer people will be duped into this.
