The Russian Embassy in Dhaka on Thursday said there is no need for volunteers from Bangladesh to join the special military operation, noting that the operation is going according to plan.
It says the embassy has been receiving numerous letters from Bangladeshi citizens who express their willingness to contribute on an "unpaid basis" to the "liberation movement" in Ukraine and Donbas.
