    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    NEW DELHI — India said it had busted a “major human trafficking network” which lured young men to Russia with the promise of jobs only to force them to fight in the war in Ukraine.

    At least two men who went to Russia expecting to work as “helpers” in the army have died while fighting at the front, their families have said.

    The traffickers, operating across several Indian states, targeted people using social media platforms and through local agents, the CBI said in a statement.

    The foreign ministry has said that every case of Indians being duped into fighting in the war had been “strongly taken up” with Moscow.

    Thousands of people have died on both sides since Russia invaded Ukraine in Feb. 2022 in what Moscow termed a “special military operation”.

    New Delhi and Moscow have enjoyed a close relationship for decades and India has refused to condemn Russia over the war with Ukraine, urging the two sides to end the conflict through dialogue and diplomacy.
