Some Ghanaian men who say they were lured with promises of securing well-paid security and agricultural jobs in Russia are now stranded in Ukraine, facing a dire situation amid the ongoing war.
A recent report by TV3 threw light on the plights of these men, revealing what began as a journey of hopes of a better future turned out to be their worst nightmares.
It added that the men left Ghana on June 24, 2024, bidding farewell to their families filled with dreams of a better future, travelling through Togo to reach Russia in anticipation and joy.
However, upon arrival, their dreams were dashed as they said they were whisked off to a city in Western Russia to sign an employment contract, which proved to be false.
