Indian person fighting with Russian Army surrendered to Ukrainian Army
The 63rd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army released a video of an Indian citizen on his Telegram Channel, who stated his identity as Majoti Sahil Mohammad Hussain of Gujarat.
There was no statement from the Indian officials on this matter.
Official sources said that the Indian embassy in Kiev is detecting the truth of the report.
He said that no formal communication has been received from Ukrainian officials on this matter.
According to the report of The Kiev Independent newspaper, the Ukrainian Army said that 22 -year -old Hussain came to Russia to study at a university.
In the video, Hussain said that he was sentenced to seven years in Russian Jail on charges related to drugs and was given an opportunity to sign a contract with the Russian army to avoid further sentence.
Hussain said, “I didn’t want to be in jail, so I signed a contract for a special military campaign. But I wanted to get out of there.”
After 16 days of training, Hussain was sent on his first fighter mission on 1 October, and lasted for three days.
After the fight with his commander, he surrendered to Ukrainian soldiers.
He said, “I came to know the status of a Ukrainian moat about two to three kilometers away.”
He said, “I immediately put my rifle down and said that I do not want to fight. I need help. I do not want to go back to Russia.”
The 63rd Mechanized Brigade said in his telegram post that Hussain studied in Russia, but was caught with drugs.
The post said, “He went to battle to not go to jail.”
The Ministry of External Affairs said last month that India had firmly called Russia to release and bring back 27 Indian citizens serving in the Russian Army.
There have been reports that some Indians on students and commercial visas were forced to join Russian military units posted on the front line of war in Ukraine.
India has been repeatedly asking Russia to release all Indians working as assistant employees in Russian military units such as cooks and assistants.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also raised this issue during his visit to Russia last year.
According to official data, the number of Indians admitted to the Russian Army is now more than 150.
At least 12 Indians were killed while fighting on the front line of conflict in Ukraine, while 96 were discharged by Russian officials.
The other 16 is listed as missing.
