Jordan calls on Russia to stop recruiting its nationals to fight in Ukraine | The National

Jordan is taking a rare stance against Russia, demanding it stops recruiting its citizens to fight in Ukraine. The government is working to bring back the bodies of Jordanians who were killed. This is significant because Jordan usually avoids direct criticism of Russia. Iraq is dealing with a similar issue, with thousands reportedly leaving to fight. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2026/03/08/jordan-russia-ukraine/

Makes sense, it's their citizens. Curious to see how Russia responds.

Respect to Jordan for finally taking a stand. More countries should do the same.

Not surprised. Recruitment efforts have been an open secret for a while. Hope they succeed in bringing the fallen home.

Interesting move given their usual diplomatic balancing act. Shows how bad the situation must be.

Iraq too? This is a much bigger regional problem than people think.

Good. Russia should leave Jordan out of its war.

This is a serious humanitarian issue. Getting the bodies back is the least they can do for the families.
