Meet the foreign fighters joining Ukraine's battle with Russia | DW News

In Ukraine, it’s not just Ukranians who fight. Thousands of people from abroad have joined the battle. Who are they? And why are they risking their lives? Our reporter meets two men from Latin America who are heading to Ukraine to serve in the armed forces. She accompanies them on their journey. Both men are fully aware that this might be a one-way trip, but they’re convinced it’s worth the risk.

As a Naval vet and friend to an Army combat medic, I hope this kid makes it through this. He seems to have the right mentality....when he said "Each grain of sand helps. And if I just save the life of a few fighters, I'll have achieved change." This man's bravery is impressive and admirable. I will pray for him to achieve his goals and get home safely!!!

[@UltraKryptonian]

I noticed lots of people are calling the medic a “liability”. The man did not go to Ukraine for glory or wanting to kill. He’s going there to help people as a medic, whether the casualties are military or civilian. Personally, I think he’s brave and has a good heart. Even combat veterans were inexperienced or “green”, at some point. Most of the Ukrainian armed forces probably didn’t have combat experience either, until Russia invaded. I pray that the medic and everyone fighting for Ukraine will stay safe and one day return to their families.

Hello. I'm from Ukraine. The Legion does not take everyone in a row. You are an experienced fighter or have to pass tests. If you have no experience, you will not be accepted in 9 out of 10 cases. Basically, everyone is broken by fear. The real explosions are not what you see on TV. And training on the range is now very tough, with explosions and shots. I also want to dispel the pro-russian myth that Legionnaires are thrown away like meat. This, of course, is a lie. Even if you are an experienced fighter, you will not get to the front until you have been trained in a formed group to coordinate and understand your brothers in arms. And this takes about 1 month.

She is very disrespectful, insulting Kapon personally, conflating the volunteers in with mentally ill non-volunteers, and insinuating that the volunteers are being used as cannon fodder. She is an awful human being and a worse reporter.

I am an medic myself, I don't have the stuff for combat. So I volunteer on the safer side I will fix not fight. I have lots of respect for the medical personnel who decide to go into combat as a medic. I will remain as a civilian ems volunteer in areas without direct aggression. These men and women should be proud and as should their families. True heroism.

Mercenaries do not have any rights and protection of international law, so they are simply destroyed by hundreds - about 7000 mercenaries have now come for money and just to play with weapons (Poland, USA, Canada, Romania, England, Georgia) - they will all be destroyed and they know what they are going for.

As a former professional soldier, I have mixed feelings about the foreign volunteers in Ukraine. People like Sandra are those that set the example for others. She evokes pragmatism and efficiency. OTOH, Kapon has good intentions but he’s worrisome to me. I believe that he will need close supervision until he sheds his naïveté. I hope his medical skills aren’t reflective of the way he presented himself in this report. Let’s hope that there’s a follow-up to this where they can receive the respect and admiration that they deserve when this is over.

[@ym10up]

The difference between Sandra and Kapon is quite stark. I wish him all the luck staying safe so that he can quickly shed his naivete like you said. I wish the best of luck to all of them.
