South Africa has successfully secured the return of 11 of its citizens who were lured into fighting in the Russia-Ukraine war. President Cyril Ramaphosa expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Russian President Vladimir Putin for the support in repatriating these men.

This development marks a significant diplomatic achievement for South Africa amid the ongoing conflict in the region. The government continues to monitor the situation closely to ensure the safety of its citizens abroad. The return of these men highlights the challenges faced by individuals caught up in international conflicts against their will.

The government plans to provide support and rehabilitation for the returnees as they reintegrate into society.
The case also underscores the importance of international cooperation in resolving complex conflict situations affecting citizens worldwide. South Africa is expected to:
