Kenya says over two-hundred nationals fight for Russia in Ukraine
“Reports suggest that over two hundred Kenyans may have joined the Russian military, with some being former members of Kenya’s disciplined services,” Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi said in a statement. He urged Kenyans to be wary of overseas job offers that seem too good to be true.
Last week, Ukraine reported that over 1,400 individuals from around 36 African countries are fighting alongside Russian forces, with some recruited under misleading circumstances.
President William Ruto also raised the issue in a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, seeking the release of Kenyans detained in the conflict zone. Similarly, South Africa has been working through diplomatic channels to repatriate 17 citizens who were recruited as mercenaries and stranded in Ukraine’s Donbas region.
