The body of a 23-year-old Zambian student who died while fighting for the Russian army in the war in Ukraine has been returned home. He was later pardoned through a special amnesty on condition that he participate in the war and he was killed while fighting in Ukraine. Zambia will work to ensure that nothing like this happens again to a Zambian studying in Russia and that there are no other Zambians in Russian prisons, said Kakubo. Zambians have expressed sadness that a young student was pressed into the Russian military to fight their war in Ukraine. "This death requires government to strongly censure Russia and tell them to stop sacrificing our young people studying there to fight this unwanted war with Ukraine.
