Kenya Says 1,000 Citizens Recruited to Fight Russia
Kenya says 1,000 of its citizens were recruited to fight for Russia. They were sent to fight in Ukraine.
Recruiters lied about job offers in Russia. Then they sent Kenyans to the front lines.
Kenya's intelligence gave a report to parliament about this. Kimani Ichung'wah is the majority leader of Kenya's national assembly.
He said rogue agencies were still recruiting Kenyans. Individuals in Kenya were also recruiting them illegally.
Klear Note — Russia's war in Ukraine started in 2022. Russia recruits foreign fighters to replace losses. Kenya's government is investigating illegal recruitment of its citizens.
