Kimende, Kenya – Several weeks after Dancan Chege left his home in Kimende town in Kenya’s Kiambu County for Russia, having been promised a job as a truck driver, he instead found himself on the front lines of the war in Ukraine.
With no combat experience, it was not something he had signed up for. But the trainer readying Chege and other fighters told him: “This is the Russian military, and once you are in, you either fight or die,” he said.
