A: Hey there! Did you hear about the crazy thing that happened to this Indian guy, Sarbjit?
B: Nah, what's up?
A: So, this dude went to Russia thinking he was gonna be a courier, but instead he ended up fighting in Ukraine!
B: Woah, seriously? What happened?
A: Yeah, so he said some guys stopped him at the airport and forced him to sign a Russian contract. Then they took him to this military camp near the border with Ukraine.
B: That sounds scary...
A: Exactly! They made him train for 15 days and then sent him to fight in eastern Ukraine for about eight months! Crazy, right?
B: I can't believe it! Did he get hurt or something?
A: Yeah, apparently one of his friends got hit by a drone while they were leaving a building. It was really bad...
B: Oh man, that must have been terrible for him.
A: Anyways, he's back in India now, but many of his compatriots are still stuck on the frontlines. The Indian government is trying to talk to Russia to bring them home.
B: I hope they can do something about it. That sounds really unfair...
A: Yeah, me too. The Russian Embassy said they didn't force anyone to fight, but who knows what's really going on...
B: It's a messed up situation for sure. Hopefully they find a solution soon.
