Over 1,000 Kenyans Recruited to Fight for Russia in Ukraine War
An alarming intelligence report reveals that more than 1,000 Kenyans have been recruited to fight for Russia in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Reports indicate that many were lured with promises of better salaries and opportunities, often facilitated by a network of travel agents and influencers. The Kenyan government has expressed concern, with the Foreign Minister planning a visit to Moscow to address the situation. Families of the recruits are demanding urgent action and assistance to bring their loved ones home, as they face the reality of heavy casualties on the battlefield. Despite the recruitment, Russia has denied any organized effort to enlist Kenyans for its military pursuits.
