NAIROBI: More than 1,000 Kenyans have gone to fight for the Russian army in Ukraine, most of them tricked into signing military contracts, according to an intelligence report presented to Kenya’s parliament.

Investigators call the recruitment a well-organised trafficking ring involving immigration staff and security agencies.
