On May 16 local time, Reuters reported that the Sri Lankan government would send a delegation to Russia to seek the repatriation of hundreds of citizens who had been cheated into Russia, joined the Russian army and fought with Ukraine.
A senior official of the Sri Lankan Ministry of Defence said that the Russian army and its agents "recruited" the victims using the social media WhatsApp, and promised a high return on Russian nationality.The official warned its nations not to be duped.
The Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka said that earlier this month, the government began to investigate those who had been cheated into the Russian army. Most of them had received military training and were transported to Russia by means of human smuggling. They helped the Russian army fight against Ukraine on the battlefield.
The foreign minister said, "The challenge is that we don't know how many people are in Russia. According to unofficial information, there are about 600 to 800 people."
The Sri Lankan government has received 288 complaints from the families of the deceived, and has arrested 7 people, including a retired general, who is accused of helping smuggle Sri Lankan citizens to Russia as an agent of the Russian army.
The Sri Lankan Government will send a high-level delegation headed by the Minister of Defence.It can be seen that the number of people cheated is very bad.
