The trend of Nepali people joining the Russian Army has not stopped even though the ministry has clarified that the government has no policy to allow Nepali citizens to join foreign armies except for national armies of some countries as per the traditional agreements.
The government has been taking diplomatic initiatives to rescue and repatriate the Nepalis who joined the Russian Army, the Foreign Ministry said.
Similarly, the government has urged the Russian government to provide compensation for the families of those killed while serving in the army, treatment for the injured and repatriate those who are currently serving in the Russian Army against Ukraine.
