‘We never wanted them’: Russia on Indians in Russian Army

New Delhi, 10/7: Russia on Wednesday said it is hoping for quick resolution of the issue relating to India’s call for return of Indians recruited into the Russian Army as support staff and asserted their recruitment was purely a commercial matter.

In first comments on the issue from the Russian government, Russia’s Charge d’affaires Roman Babushkin said Moscow never wanted the Indians to be part of its Army and their number is insignificant in the context of the conflict.
