Hundreds of Ethiopian men are lining up outside the Russian embassy in Ethiopia in hopes of fighting for Russia in the war against Ukraine. Several hundred men were seen registering their names with Ethiopian security guards outside the Russian embassy. A man who came out of the embassy later told the Ethiopian men that they would be contacted when they were needed, adding that Russia had enough forces in Ukraine for now. The embassy said the men who were queuing outside the mission only wanted to show their solidarity with Russia. Despite the administration staying neutral, many Ethiopians have voiced support for Russia, which they see as a friendly nation.
