Six Indian nationals, primarily from Punjab, are set to return home after being discharged from service in the Russian army, following efforts by the Indian government to facilitate their repatriation. These men, who were reportedly misled into joining the Russian military, expressed relief upon their release, with one individual looking forward to meeting his newborn son for the first time. Meanwhile, families of other Indian nationals remain anxious as some, like Mandeep Singh from Goraya, have not been accounted for since their deployment. The Ministry of External Affairs has confirmed that 13 Indians have been discharged from the Russian military, with 66 more seeking early release. This development comes after Prime Minister Modi's visit to Russia, where he emphasized the need for the safe return of Indian nationals. As the situation unfolds, the families of those still in conflict zones continue to hope for their loved ones' safe return.
