Russia will release all Indians working in their army. This decision came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about the issue with President Vladimir Putin during his visit to Moscow.

Two Indians have died fighting in Russia's war against Ukraine. Many others stuck in the war say they were tricked into fighting.

During a private dinner in Moscow, PM Modi brought up this problem. Putin agreed to let all Indians in the Russian army leave and help them return home. At the same dinner, Putin congratulated PM Modi on his re-election and praised India's growing economy.

About twenty Indians were forced to fight in the Ukraine war after being tricked by agents who promised them high-paying jobs. Earlier this year, a video showed men from Punjab and Haryana in army uniforms saying they were tricked and asking for help.

In March, the Indian government spoke strongly with Russian officials to release the Indians. They also started actions against the agents who deceived them. Indian authorities have raided and shut down groups involved in sending Indians to Russia. These groups had sent at least 35 Indians to Russia, but it is unclear if all were forced to fight.

PM Modi in Russia

PM Modi arrived in Moscow last evening. This is his first visit to Russia since the war with Ukraine started. Russia's First Deputy PM Denis Manturov welcomed him at the airport.

Today, PM Modi will talk with Putin and attend the 22nd India-Russia summit in Moscow. This visit is important as PM Modi tries to balance India's relationship with Russia and its growing ties with Western countries.
