[@danielwhyatt3278]

Yeah this is probably going to be more and more standard in the war. Especially as the more skilled people naturally have unfortunately been killed so far and by the time the war has ended, Ukraine and the foreign volunteers will be working their way down the line to the more inexperienced people. So it is up to them to train even harder and faster as it goes on to get up to scratch. Of course Ukraine needs more and more de-miners in order to clear the roads, forests and fields which will be crucial in the months and years ahead considering how many are probably laid each day. Every week they sit in the fields is more time wasted that agriculture needs in order to rebuild the country’s economy. Considering how many billions it will need to save it economy after the war, they unfortunate to take as many risks as possible to clear as many of these deadly time bombs as they can. Is quite shameful that he didn’t seem to realise at the time before he left so that it would be his responsibility to follow any orders given, and that could include land mine clearing, especially as he wasn’t doing it any more dangerously than people had to do in WWII. But thankfully, based on what we learned at the end of this video, he must’ve realised this as well and realised that it was selfish of him to think that way initially and has returned considering everyone else doesn’t have that kind of luxurious choice. I hope he’s still alright and helping his best he can.

The biggest problem that foreign volunteer soldiers find is the lack of cohesion in leadership and battlefield focus/direction. Many are sent into territorial defense units without interpreters to hold re-captured territory and become totally disillusioned with the lack of discipline and leadership. The lack of understanding of the volunteers previous experience and refusal to commit them into a battlefield where they're suited has made many leave Ukraine. Look at the famous Canadian sniper 'Wali' for instance.....was there for 2 months in a trench and only shot 2 rounds and wasn't even issued a sniper rifle. Those volunteers who've found their way into more professional English speaking units with interpreters/radio operators who have access to proper fire support have done very well.

Have read that there are military experts that sort out volunteers with and without military experience into fighting arm and support arm for the UA. Don't know if these guys have served previously in their respective military.

[@Hitithardify]

I’m all for people volunteering, but I wish people would be honest with themselves about what they can really do when they’re over there. Not all volunteer jobs require you to be at the front. There is so much else you can do to contribute.

This is not close to the average situation here. However, sadly there are poor led units which there should be none. Clearly there should be a more professional approach in all situations in respect to not only the Int'l Legion but anything related to the entire military and if there is one failure it would be leadership in the training and usage of all military elements at all times. Thankfully this alleged situation I believe to be more uncommon than not. It all falls into one problem overall and it's leadership. Without leadership there is nothing but rabble and unfortunate needless losses that could be otherwise avoided. This is just common sense for any military organization no matter the nation. All the best, to my brother's who hold the line and take ground of course!

I appreciate these guys want to help Ukraine and risking their lives to do it, not sure if that is true courage, or stupidity , maybe both. But I'm getting an impression Alex didn't quite think things through with his load-out and kit because he's hauling around a semi-auto service rifle in a non-standard caliber! Russian/Ukrainian standard small arms take 5.45 mm and to a lesser extent 7.62 x 39 and meanwhile Alex is shown (at around 2:30) hauling around his trusty M1A/M14 in 7.62 NATO?! The AK74 isn't the most accurate rifle but I'd surely grab one of those instead of this 4 foot long dinosaur of a service rifle. Mainly because, WDYD when you run dry mid fire-fight, all your pals are loaded to the gills with 5.45 and the nearest ammo you can actually fire might be three towns over?!

Ukraine has M14 rifles they mostly use for training but handed some of them out to foreign volunteers since they lacked rifles from handling out their stocks to civilians in the beginning.

From what it seems there's difference stuff floating around difference regions. I've heard some places you can't find 7.62x39, some places there's plenty of 5.56, some none. This isn't a standard conflict. There's politics, palm greasing, and gun running bureaucracy influencing how and what gets where and when.

It’s not being Canon fodder. It’s just a war between two large nations. This is not the same as Iraq and Afghanistan. These kinds of numbers and consequences of war or just unfortunately unescapable whether we like it or not. It’s simply a case now of the morality and how we can mitigate the numbers. Scarcity and supplies and soldiers having to rush enemy positions firing on you is just a natural Side Effect of this. Yes, men have to put themselves at risk against an enemy they know is firing on them, but there is a difference between doing that and then just throwing bodies upon bodies at the enemy without caring about them like the Russians do. We’ve just got to get used to that unfortunately. Our grandparents did and now so shall we.
