Гана заявила, що Путін заборонив вербувати її громадян на війну проти України
What happened
Ghana's foreign minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, said Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to stop recruiting Ghanaians to fight in Ukraine.
Ablakwa wrote on Facebook that the deal was reached during talks between Putin and Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama at the Russia–Africa summit in Moscow on October 28–29.
The ban covers all circumstances, Ablakwa said, including informal recruitment and voluntary contracts with the Russian army.
Moscow also agreed to work with Ghana on a 2,000 MW nuclear power plant, deeper defence cooperation, support for farming and more scholarships for Ghanaian students in Russia, according to Ablakwa.
Ablakwa said in August that 62 Ghanaians had died in the war and another 15 were missing, according to UNIAN.
The Russian authorities usually do not comment on foreign fighters in their ranks, Radio Svoboda noted.
“This applies to any circumstances: both periodic recruitment and cases where citizens sign contracts voluntarily.”
