Zelenskyy urges India and 47 nations at UN to stop Russia recruiting their citizens for war
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged India and 47 other nations at the UN General Assembly to prevent their citizens from being recruited by Russia for its war in Ukraine, alleging they are drawn in through deception. Zelenskyy said Russia uses foreign nationals from countries including India, Nepal, and Ghana on the battlefield, with many dying. India's foreign ministry reports 227 nationals recruited, with 51 killed and 139 discharged, while New Delhi negotiates with Moscow for repatriation. Zelenskyy called for limiting Russia's finances and oil production to stop the war, and accused North Korea's Kim Jong Un of sending troops in exchange for advanced military technology.
