From job promises to front-line peril: Kenyans lured into Russia’s Ukraine war

Kenyan workers were lured by recruitment agents to Russia for truck-driving jobs, only to be sent to Ukraine to fight. Kenya’s National Intelligence Service says over 1,000 Kenyans were recruited, with dozens on the front lines, some killed or missing. One recruit, Dancan Chege, escaped after brutal training and mass casualties he witnessed; families demand accountability and repatriation. Kenya has repatriated dozens and vows to crack down on fraudulent recruitment, while Moscow denies illegal recruitment and frames foreign enlistment as voluntary.
