Troops from Ukraine’s 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade captured the Kenyan, 36-year-old Evans Kibet, a former track and field athlete who was hiding in the woods near the city in the Kharkiv region. “I joined the Russian military not knowing I was being recruited. I have never been in the military, and I have never wanted a military job,” Kibet says on the video. AdvertisementKibet says he escaped after being sent on his first combat mission by fleeing into the forest and removing his uniform. Human rights organizations have previously highlighted the threat to foreign visitors and workers being tricked into fighting for Russia.
