Kenyans lured by rogue recruitment agents find themselves in Russian Warfront

Eldoret, Kenya
December 20, 2025 2:30am CST
It has emerged that hundreds of Kenyans who were taken to Russia by recruitment agencies promising them laborer, teaching and care giver jobs have found themselves on the warfront, fighting for Russia in the on-going Russia-Ukraine war. It is feared that some are already dead and scores are wounded. Back home, the government, though fully aware, is yet to issue any statement. I am not sure whether such an occurrence could trigger any diplomatic wrangle between Kenya and Russia but what I know, deep inside the leaders, they know something is terribly out of place.

The rogue agents who were facilitating the process have disappeared.
