Kenya-Russia deal: Putin agrees to stop recruitment of Kenyans into Russian military

President William Ruto and Russian President Vladimir Putin have signed five cooperation agreements during the Third Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Summit in Moscow. The agreements aim to strengthen diplomatic relations, trade, employment, transport, and institutional partnerships between Kenya and Russia. One key agreement establishes the Intergovernmental Russia-Kenya Commission on Economic Cooperation, which will coordinate economic programs and pursue investment opportunities.

Another focuses on labour inspection and employment promotion, addressing concerns surrounding Kenyans' recruitment into the Russian military. The third agreement establishes cooperation between the transport ministries, potentially creating opportunities for technical exchanges and partnerships in transport development.
