Parliament questions 121 Ugandans in Russian Army

Akantorana was reportedly taken to Balashikha, where he was allegedly forced to sign a military contract. He was subsequently deployed to the frontline in Ukraine, where he reportedly escaped from a bunker and surrendered to Ukrainian troops.

Katabazi first raised concerns about Ugandans who travelled to Russia after reportedly being promised civilian jobs, only to find themselves in military service and, in some cases, deployed to the frontline in Ukraine, on Wednesday in Parliament and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to explain.
