‘Fraught with danger’, MEA tells citizens not to join Russian army
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has issued a clear advisory urging Indian citizens to avoid joining the Russian army or any related military activities. Officials described such involvement as “fraught with danger” and highlighted serious risks to safety and well-being. The warning comes after reports of Indian nationals being lured with promises of employment or financial benefits, only to find themselves trapped in hazardous military roles. The MEA emphasized that India strongly discourages citizens from taking part in conflicts that do not concern the country. Families of those affected have also been reaching out to authorities for assistance. The government has reiterated that it is actively working to secure the safe return of individuals who may already be caught in such situations. Citizens are encouraged to remain cautious, avoid dubious job offers abroad, and prioritize verified opportunities through official channels to ensure their safety.
