In the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine, at least two Indian citizens have died in battle, and many more who are still trapped there claim they were tricked into joining the fight.
According to the sources, PM Narendra Modi brought up the matter on Monday night during a private dinner hosted by Vladimir Putin. Russia agreed to help with the return of all Indians who were serving in the military in retaliation.

According to Reuters, one of Modi’s key concerns in Moscow would be resolving India’s trade imbalance with Russia and obtaining the release of Indian people who were “misled” into fighting in the conflict in Ukraine.
Speaking about the Indians recruited for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, sources said India would raise the issue in the strongest terms, news agency PTI earlier reported.
According to PTI, an unidentified source stated, “We want the expeditious discharge of Indians fighting in the Ukrainian conflict from the Russian military.”
The individuals mentioned above claimed that the number may be roughly 100, despite reports indicating that the Russian military had hired up to 200 Indian nationals to work as support personnel like cooks and attendants. According to the persons, the frequent movement of military units and inadequate communications have made it challenging for Indian authorities to get in touch with Indian citizens who are thought to be serving on the front lines.

The external affairs ministry had earlier urged Indian citizens to “exercise caution while seeking employment opportunities in Russia”.
Many Indian nationals were duped by recruiting agents based in Indian cities and Dubai into taking up jobs with the Russian military. Besides the four deaths, several Indians have been injured. Indians have also posted videos on social media seeking help to get out of such jobs.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) recently busted a human trafficking network spread across several states that lured gullible young men through social media channels and agents with the promise of highly paid jobs in Russia.
A viral video earlier this year showed a group of men from Punjab and Haryana – wearing army uniforms – claiming they were tricked into fighting the war in Ukraine and doubling down on their request for help.

Modi, Putin hold talks amid outrage over Ukraine strikes
PM Narendra Modi is set to hold talks with President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, a day after the Indian leader arrived in Moscow amid global outcry over Russian strikes in Ukraine.
Modi, visiting Moscow for the first time since Russia launched its campaign in Ukraine in February 2022, will seek to nurture New Delhi’s long-standing relationship with Moscow.
At the same time, he is courting closer Western security ties after being returned to power last month.
“There are no surprises in preparation. The main thing is to create an atmosphere for meaningful interaction,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state TV when asked about the talks.
