Land in Russia as tourist, but was forced to enter battlefield: Punjab youth
Chandigarh: Gurpreet Singh, a youth from Harta village in Hoshiarpur, is stuck in Russia. He had gone on tourist visa to celebrate New Year there. He has been recruited into the Russian army which threatened him with 10 years in jail for visa violation. After only 15 days of “training”, he along with other youths is set to be sent to fight for Russia in the Ukraine war.
Gurpreet’s brother Amrit told The Tribune that Gurpreet was keen to travel abroad. On December 27, 2023, he left home to go to Russia. There were some other Indian youths with him in Russia. Gurpreet told his family over the phone that someone told them they could also go to Belarus from there. But they were not aware that to go to Belarus, they needed a separate visa.
