A growing number of young men from African countries such as Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria are being deceived by promises of jobs in Russia, only to be forced into fighting on the front lines in Ukraine.
Investigative reports reveal that over 1,400 Africans have been recruited, with hundreds killed and only a handful returning home. Many victims believed they were accepting civilian jobs, but instead found themselves trapped in the conflict, often with no way to escape.
