The Union government informed the Supreme Court that 10 Indian nationals have died while serving in the Russian Army during the ongoing Ukraine war. These individuals were among 26 Indians whose families had approached the court seeking their safe return. According to the Centre, most had voluntarily joined the Russian military, though concerns persist over alleged recruitment through agents and misleading job offers. The deaths have intensified distress among families and raised serious questions about overseas recruitment practices. The government said efforts are ongoing to ensure the return of remaining Indians and to address the issue diplomatically.
