At least 20 Indian citizens are trapped on the front lines of the war in Ukraine after being tricked into travelling to Russia and then forced to join the army.

Relatives of some of those who have been sent to fight told The Telegraph that their loved ones had been lured to the United Arab Emirates by the promise of a job in Dubai, only to be transferred to Russia.

"Russian troops are forcing them to move into frontline areas where they face Ukrainian soldiers near the Black Sea on its southern border,” a relatives of one of the trapped Indians said.

"All the people held against their will in Russia are facing mental and physical torment. They are denied separate spaces for meals and using the washroom,” he added.
