Four young Bangladeshi men have been allegedly trafficked to Russia under the false promise of lucrative jobs, only to be forced to participate in the conflict in Ukraine. The men were reportedly deceived by a human trafficking ring and sold into military service. They are now appealing for help to escape the warzone, expressing fear for their lives and desperate conditions. Details emerged as families raised concerns after losing contact with their sons who had travelled to Russia seeking employment. Authorities in Bangladesh are investigating the incident and attempting to verify the claims, while also working to secure the release and repatriation of the men. This case highlights the vulnerability of migrant workers to exploitation and the risks associated with seeking opportunities abroad through unofficial channels. The Bangladeshi government has warned its citizens against travelling to Russia or Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict.
