NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 31 – Kenyans will no longer be enlisted into the Russian military following an agreement reached between President William Ruto and his Russian counterpart, President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin in Moscow on Thursday.
During a bilateral meeting after the conclusion of the Third Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum on Thursday, the two leaders agreed to designate Kenya as a non-source country for recruitment into the Russian military.
The landmark agreement effectively closes the recruitment channels through which several Kenyans had been illegally enlisted to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war.
