The Russian embassy in Delhi has stated that Indian nationals "voluntarily contracted for military service" in Russia. This comes after India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar raised concerns about the recruitment of 69 Indian citizens into the Russian army, with some suggesting they were misled. The Russian government denies any involvement in "public or obscure campaigns" to recruit Indians and says it has stopped admitting foreign nationals, including Indians, to military service since April.
