The Kenyan government will grant amnesty to its citizens who illegally joined the Russian military in Ukraine, following an agreement with Russia to cease recruitment of Kenyans.

• Approximately 252 Kenyans were recruited into the Russian military.
• This decision was reached after diplomatic consultations between Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs Minister Musalia Mudavadi and Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
• Under the agreement, Kenyans currently fighting who wish to leave will be allowed to disengage and return home, with Kenya's diplomatic mission in Moscow facilitating consular access.
