New Delhi has confirmed that some of India’s citizens have signed up for “support jobs” with the Russian army. The Indian government says it is working with Moscow to secure their discharge.
The Indian Foreign Ministry said Friday that some of the country’s citizens have signed up for jobs helping Russia in its war against Ukraine.
The ministry has not confirmed if any of those who signed up had taken combat roles.

What kind of shitty beliefs do you have to have to think, oh yeah, helping Russia invade is something I should do??
Your average Indian citizen is probably not as tuned in to the conflict as people in Western nations. Poor men in rural areas are pitched high wages (to them) for some easy work like building barracks away from the frontline. The same thing was happening in Cuba. Then once they arrived in Ukraine they were put in combat roles.
They’re promised well paying jobs, they don’t necessarily know what they’re getting themselves into. I’m sure whoever is recruiting them is incentivised to lie about the actual situation.
Money good.
The same set of beliefs where scamming people for gift cards and tech support is okay, of course.
Translation: “support jobs” = “frontline cannon fodder with no training, support, equipment, food, medical supplies, or evacuation”.
Yeah. Russia just gained Indian levies.
Oh boy, Russia has found their new meat grinder.
Picturing Modi facepalming at how awkward this makes the talks about why he isn’t cooperating with the sanctions lol
Picturing Modi not giving a fuck as he orders for farmers to get beaten and Muslims raped and murdered.
Are there some recruitment campaigns, ads in India? It’s still sounds weird a lot of non-speaking volounteurs went there. Maybe they browsed r/askarussian too much and wanted to immigrate like that?
“High paying jobs in Russia! Free flight + room and board!”

Man they must have promised them one hell of an iTunes gift card.
in “Russia”
Tbh which country could confirm that that’s not the case?
I’d imagine most Western countries have citizens completely controlled by misinformation that joined the russian military.
What country realistically has a claim to confirm that not a single citizen joined Russia?
Josh from Ohio gonna have to go back to tech support I guess
I recall reading a few threads on r/India or similar where it’s clear that they aligned to the Russian narrative.
Not surprisingly, you will find many of those from Asia countries which are no longer aligned with the western narrative.
Good
