Families in Jammu, India, are in mourning after two young men, Sachin Khajuria and Maninder Singh, allegedly coerced into the Russian Army, were killed in the ongoing war in Ukraine. Sachin, 23, left for Moscow on a study visa in August 2025, believing he would find prosperity. His brother, Koushal Khajuria, reported that Sachin was lured by a female Russian agent who promised good pay for working as a porter. After signing a contract in Russian, Sachin was trained for 10 to 15 days before being sent to the front lines, where he was killed. Meanwhile, Maninder Singh, also 23, was similarly deceived and died shortly after joining the army. His family has struggled to obtain the contract he signed, which is crucial for claiming compensation. Another youth, Sumeet Sharma, has been missing since September 2025, also believed to have been tricked into military service. The families have expressed frustration over the lack of support from the Indian government and embassy in Moscow, as they seek answers and justice for their loved ones.
