Kenya's foreign minister, Musalia Mudavadi, announced that Russia has agreed to stop recruiting Kenyan nationals to fight in Ukraine. This decision follows concerns over over 1,000 Kenyans being lured into combat with false job promises. Mudavadi is also working on repatriating Kenyans who wish to return home and has closed over 600 recruitment agencies involved in human trafficking. The situation has led to public protests in Kenya, demanding government action.
