The body of 30-year-old Ankit Kumar from Kurar Ibrahimpur village in Sonepat district, Haryana, India, was returned to his family after he was killed in the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war. Ankit traveled to Russia on a study visa on March 13, 2022, but was reportedly coerced into joining the Russian Army on August 26, 2022. His family last heard from him on October 12, 2022, and they were informed by the Russian Embassy two days ago that he died in a drone attack. Ankit was the family's primary provider, with both of his sisters already married, and he had gone abroad to improve their financial situation. This tragic event is part of a larger pattern, as other Indian nationals, such as Anuj Sharma and Sonu Sheoran, have also been reported killed in the conflict after being forced into military service.
