Ghana says at least 55 of its people killed after Russia ‘lured’ them to fight Ukraine
At least 55 Ghanaians have been killed in Russia’s war with Ukraine after being “lured into battle”, Ghana’s foreign minister has said after a visit to Kyiv in which officials raised the issue of Russian recruitment of African people. The two were separate from a group of 17 South Africans who were tricked into fighting for Russia in Ukraine and who had mostly been repatriated, South Africa’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
