Nepal has formally raised the issue of its nationals joining the Russian Army with President Vladimir Putin, urging Moscow to ensure the safety of Nepali citizens caught up in the ongoing conflict.
Officials said that the government of Nepal has expressed concern about the recruitment of its citizens into the Russian forces, some of whom have reportedly lost their lives on the battlefield. Kathmandu has asked Russia to stop the enlistment of Nepali nationals and to facilitate the safe return of those already serving.
The matter was highlighted during diplomatic exchanges, where Nepal stressed that the employment of its citizens in foreign armies without bilateral agreements violates its laws. The government has also urged families not to send their members abroad through unofficial channels that expose them to dangerous conditions.
The issue has triggered debate within Nepal about the need for stronger measures to protect migrant workers and prevent illegal recruitment. Russia, meanwhile, has assured that it will consider Nepal’s concerns and look into possible arrangements.
