Ambassador of Ukraine to Nigeria Ivan Kholostenko provided comments to Togolese journalists on Russia’s recruitment of foreign nationals, including citizens of African countries, for its war against Ukraine.
The Ambassador drew attention to deceptive recruitment practices involving false promises of employment, education, or high salaries, which may ultimately result in coercion, isolation, and deployment to the frontline.
He stressed the importance of raising public awareness across African countries about these risks and exposing the activities of recruiters involved in such schemes. Reliable information can help prevent people from becoming victims of exploitation and can save lives.
