In a startling series of events, several Kenyan individuals, including an athlete, have reported being deceived into joining the Russian military while visiting Russia. The Kenyan citizens claim they were initially drawn to the country for tourism purposes but were then coerced into active military service. Ukrainian forces have successfully captured these individuals, who recount their harrowing experiences, stating they were misled by false promises and found themselves on the frontline in a conflict they never expected to be part of. The situation raises concerns over recruitment tactics used amidst the ongoing war.
