The body of a Zambian student who died while fighting in Ukraine after being jailed in Russia will be repatriated on Sunday, Zambia's foreign ministry said.
Lusaka had demanded an urgent explanation from Moscow over the death of Lemekhani Nathan Nyirenda, 23, in September while fighting on the Russian side.
"The body of Lemekhani has today 9 December arrived in Moscow and will arrive in Zambia on December 11," Zambia's Foreign Affairs minister Stanley Kakubo told parliament on Friday.
In November, the head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin admitted he recruited Nyirenda from prison, claiming the Zambian willingly agreed to go and fight against Ukraine.
"The Russian laws allow prisoners to be pardoned in special military operations. Unfortunately, Lemekhani was killed," Kakubo told lawmakers.
