Francis Dungu Ndaruwa

Francis Dungu Ndaruwa, a 35-year-old Kenyan, was reportedly lured to Russia with promises of a well-paying job as an electrical engineer, only to find himself conscripted into the Russian military and sent to the front lines in Ukraine after just three weeks of training. His family has not heard from him since October 2025, and a video surfaced showing him in military attire, raising concerns about his safety and wellbeing.
