He had traveled on a student visa valid until November.
While enrolled in a program of study, he decided to apply to a private company that recruits soldiers. They offered him a monthly stipend and a residence permit.
However, the young man set one condition: that he not be part of the troops deployed in the war in Ukraine, a country that has faced a large-scale invasion by Russian troops since February 24, 2022.
Gianni's father, Juan Bettiga, told the aforementioned newspaper: “He signed a contract—it was written in Russian—and what was supposed to be for one year ended up being for three.”
“He had military training for two weeks near Moscow, and on the third week, they sent him to Donetsk.”
This is a Ukrainian region that is currently largely controlled by Russian forces.
Gianni's parents say their son has requested to be discharged from the Russian army and return to Argentina, but so far he has not received any positive responses."
