The Consular Section of the Embassy of Peru in the Russian Federation provided assistance and facilitated the repatriation of two more Peruvians who avoided forced recruitment into service in the war against Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Peru reports.
The Consular Section of the Embassy of Peru in Russia has helped two more Peruvians escape forced military recruitment, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Peru. These individuals, along with two others assisted in late July, have now returned to Peru and are reunited with their families. In total, 31 Peruvian citizens have been evacuated from Russia, with 28 successfully returning home, while the remaining three chose to stay in Europe.
Peru has also confirmed that 459 individuals enlisted in the Russian military, with 11 fatalities, 114 reported missing, and three taken prisoner by Ukrainian forces. The MFA urges Peruvians to be cautious of fraudulent job offers that could lead to human trafficking, emphasizing that military service in a foreign nation requires prior government approval.
Citizens are advised to report any suspicious recruiters to the Attorney General’s Office and Peru's National Police. Affected families can reach out to the Consular Section of the Embassy of Peru for assistance.
