 The federal government has said it will not tolerate a recruitment of Nigerians in foreign fight in Ukraine, according to a statement signed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Francesca Oma Yuli. The government is in talks with Ukrainian counterparts to forestall any occurrences. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had contacted the embassy to verify the speculation which the Ukrainian embassy refuted, but confirmed that a number of Nigerians had approached the embassy, indicating the willingness to fight on the side of Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. The government statement comes after a report on the measure of Nigerian volunteers being drafted into the Ukrainian army at the Ukrainian embassy in a bulger.
