Ukraine has captured its first Indonesian prisoner of war, highlighting an increase in Russian recruitment of Southeast Asians. The 49-year-old was initially part of a Russian offensive but sought refuge in Ukrainian territory after a drone attack. Reports indicate that around 283 Indonesians have been recruited to fight for Russia this year, a significant rise from previous years. Indonesia has expressed concern over these recruitment practices, equating them to human trafficking, as police have uncovered networks promising lucrative jobs that lead to forced enlistment in conflict zones.
