Every night of a family whose youth is deployed on the frontline of the Russia-Ukraine war is a nightmare. When the list of Nepalis killed in the war is published, the whole country is shocked. The same news came again on Monday - Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the death of 10 more Nepalis who joined the Russian army and served in the war with Ukraine.
Based on the updated list, it has been confirmed that 49 Nepalis died in the Ukraine war, 118 people are missing, and the families have submitted a request to the government. Thus, when the news of the death of relatives lost in the battlefield is published in installments, the Nepali society is also distressed in installments.
When will this series get a break?- Everyone has a question, no one has an answer. There is no option to accept death, but the main responsibility now is to bring back those who were in the battlefield and prisoners of war and to compensate the families of the dead and the wounded. For this, all stakeholders from the government should become sensitive.
Since Russia launched an attack on neighboring Ukraine in February 2022, the Nepali society thousands of kilometers away has also been under tension. In the Nepali society, which is suffering from unemployment or low income, the war is portrayed as if the attack launched by Russia is an opportunity to take away all our suffering. The economic benefits of going to the battlefield and the lure of the golden life it creates have so forgotten our youth that they cannot even fathom the dire consequences.
That is why young people who are earning relatively well in the country or abroad or who have a military background also went to Russia. But they themselves were not sure about this trip, so some of them could not even tell their mothers and wives. Nepalese wanted jobs and income, while Russia wanted human beings to stand in the 'red zone'. Therefore, the Nepalese were deployed without even receiving full training on war.
As a result, the details of human casualties are being updated every few weeks. Some are even detained by Ukraine. It is unclear when they will be released. The recruitment of Nepali youth in the Russian army is illegal, so the Nepali government has not been able to collect the record of how many Nepalis are in the war front. However, according to the Nepalis there, about 1,500 Nepalis have joined the Russian army. Relatives have submitted a petition to the consular department saying that 118 youths have disappeared on the battlefield.
There are some key issues to be addressed at this time. An agreement has also been reached to allow youths whose contract period is over or who want to return to Nepal to return. Some of them have returned after the contract period has expired, but others are said to be under the control of the field commander.
Therefore, the government should strengthen the diplomatic role to create a situation where at least those who want to return can return. Similarly, the Russian government claims that the recruitment of Nepali youth has been stopped, but the government needs to spread awareness by encouraging the youth from Nepal not to join the Russian army.
Those who died or were injured have not yet received the compensation they were supposed to receive. Although financial compensation is said to be given, the process is still not clear. There are cases where they have to go to Russia to fight the case for claiming compensation. There is also confusion about the detailed details such as how much time to go.
So this process itself is not clear and practical. At this time, the additional role of the state is expected. He should be able to reassure the victim's family that no family will have to suffer any more harassment. The state bears its responsibility. It readily provides reparations to be obtained through diplomatic initiatives with the Russian government.
Although the state has the details of 49 Nepalese killed in the Russia-Ukraine war, there is confusion about the exact number of Nepalis who will join the Russian army. Not being able to ascertain the details of its citizens is a weakness of the state. Citizen's responsibility is also expected here. First, family members should discourage the subject of going to Russia for homin in the war.
On the other hand, if a member of his family has gone to war on behalf of Russia, he must give detailed information to the state. All in all, the Russia-Ukraine war has been a reality for almost three years now. We are also paying the price. At this time, we need to separate from it, keep it apart and take meaningful steps for compensation. It is the government that leads it.
