Kenya demands answers from Russia over recruitment of citizens to fight in Ukraine war
AI Summary
Kenya is demanding answers from Russia regarding the recruitment of its citizens to fight in the Ukraine war. Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi stated the recruitment was unacceptable and that the government has shut down illegal recruiters. Kenya estimates around 200 nationals have been recruited, and families are struggling to repatriate the bodies of those killed. Ukraine estimates over 1,400 foreign nationals from 36 African countries have been recruited by Russia, often through coercion and deception. Mudavadi reported receiving distress calls from Kenyans in Russian military camps and has since tightened recruitment regulations, deregistering non-compliant agencies to prevent further exploitation. Kenya will urge Moscow to sign an agreement barring the conscription of its citizens.
