A man identified as Evans, believed to be Kenyan, claims he was deceived into joining the Russian military after traveling to Russia as a tourist. He alleges he signed documents unknowingly enlisting him, after which his travel documents and phone were confiscated, leading to his deployment to a military training center before being captured by Ukrainian soldiers.

• Evans was reportedly offered a job and presented with papers to sign, which he later realized were for enlistment in the Russian army.
• The Kenyan government has not yet confirmed Evans's identity or responded to his claims.
• Kenya's President William Ruto has consistently condemned the war, advocating for diplomacy and adherence to the UN Charter on national sovereignty and territorial integrity, while avoiding taking sides in the conflict.
