🇮🇳The Indian Embassy in Russia has announced the death of its citizen, 30-year-old Shri Mohammed Asfan. According to Indian media, he was fraudulently recruited into the Russian army and sent to fight against Ukraine, where he died

According to Asfan's relatives, he and several other men were deceived by a blogger who runs the YouTube channel Baba Vlogs (305 thousand subscribers). He allegedly helps Indians get work permits in Russia.

In particular, he took $3.6 thousand from Asfan, promising to employ him as a security guard in Russia. But after arriving and signing the contract, Asfan realized that he had been recruited as an "assistant" to the Russian army.

The BBC has previously reported on this scheme. Indians between the ages of 22 and 31 are employed as alleged "assistants" in Russian military institutions, and then sent into battle under the pretext of "training".

"This war will end only with Victory and definitely with the return of Crimea," Dmytro "Da Vinci" Kotsiubailo.

One year ago, on 7 March, Ukrainian volunteer, founder and first commander of the “Da Vinci Wolves” battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Hero of Ukraine Dmytro Kotsiubailo was killed in a battle near Bakhmut.

Dmytro was the first volunteer in the history of Ukraine to be awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine during his lifetime. Since 2014, Da Vinci has been defending Ukraine's independence, taking part in battles in the hottest spots of the frontline in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

With the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia, the “Da Vinci Wolves” combat group became a battalion that officially joined the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Eternal honour to the fighter for Ukraine's independence, the fighter for Ukraine's freedom, the fighter for Ukraine's victory. Eternal honour to the Ukrainian soldiers.

Goodnight Resisters everywhere

Update FRR
A resident of Tolyatti, detained last year for anti-war posts on social networks and publishing “instructions for surrendering,” was finally charged - under six articles she could face up to 22.5 years in prison.

Polina Yevtushenko supported Ukraine openly and ran her social networks accordingly. She published a petition demanding to initiate impeachment of Putin, photos of banknotes with anti-war slogans and links to the telegram channel of the Legion “Freedom of Russia”.

Initially, she was accused of "preparing treason" - according to investigators, she allegedly persuaded a resident of Samara to join the “Russian Freedom Legion”.

However, in the end, Polina was charged with six counts (preparing for treason, promoting terrorism, calls for extremism, justifying terrorism, fakes about the army)

Polina left a daughter behind, she turned six years on March 1.
