Summary

Kenya and Botswana are seeking the return of their citizens held in Ukraine; Bloomberg reports that African countries are urging Ukrainian authorities to return citizens captured after being detained for fighting on Russia’s side. Kenya’s foreign minister, Musalia Mudavadi, said Kenya wants citizens recruited by the Russian military to be recognized as “victims of international human trafficking,” rather than prisoners of war. Mudavadi said Kenyan citizens were recruited under false promises of employment.
