The Kremlin leader promised the Prime Minister of India to return all Indians sent by Russia to the war against Ukraine.
Indian citizens who signed contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense and participated in the war against Ukraine will be released and will be able to return home. This was reported by the Indian television channel NDTV on Tuesday, July 9.
