Aymen left for Russia to study. So did Montassar. Neither of them had planned to go to war there. Since then, their families have heard nothing. They are not alone. At least seven Tunisian nationals have been enlisted in the Russian armed forces since the start of the war in Ukraine, according to a report published in February 2026. One has been confirmed dead. Others remain missing.
