Warning against job offers in the Russian army for Indian citizens

The Indian government cautioned its citizens against job offers in the Russian army, as some men from India and other South Asian countries were being recruited by a network of agents and visa consultants. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in India uncovered this network that promised jobs in Russia to the recruits. The Ministry of External Affairs felt it was crucial to warn citizens living far away from Russia due to the increasing reports of men signing up to fight in exchange for payment.
