Russia has pledged to stop the recruitment of Kenyans to fight in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, following discussions held in Moscow between Kenyan Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov. Reports indicate that over a thousand Kenyans may have been recruited, with some joining voluntarily while others have reportedly been misled or coerced into enlisting. The Kenyan government has expressed concerns that Russia is using these foreign soldiers as cannon fodder in the war.
