MP Gamini Waleboda called for urgent action against the recruitment of retired Sri Lankan military personnel as mercenaries for Russia.

During a press conference, the MP disclosed that these retired soldiers are promised lucrative salaries to serve in Russian military camps but they are subsequently deployed to the front lines as mercenaries.

Upon inquiring with the Russian Embassy in Sri Lanka, Waleboda was  informed that the embassy had no involvement with the incident. However,  they indicated that the Embassy in Russia and certain individuals  associated with it might be implicated in these activities.Waleboda  criticised the Foreign Affairs Ministry, the Sri Lanka Foreign  Employment Bureau and the Immigration Department for their lack of  intervention in this serious matter.

Waleboda also met with family members of the Sri Lankan military personnel now serving as mercenaries in the Russian Army. He noted that these families receive no information about their relatives once they are deployed.

The MP further revealed that individuals seeking financial opportunities in Russia have been enlisted into the Russian mercenary army, endangering their lives. On behalf of about 25 to 30 family members, he presented written grievances to the Foreign Ministry yesterday (7) and also brought this issue to the attention of the President’s Secretariat.
