Foreign nationals traveling to aid Ukraine’s war effort are reportedly being duped into signing indefinite service contracts. The Ukrainian Army has denied such allegations while failing to provide evidence of military contracts stating otherwise.
As the nation’s war with Russia broke out, the International Legion for the Defence of Ukraine was formed, with people from around the globe welcomed – and encouraged – to join the fight. At the beginning of March, Ukrainian President Zelensky announced to his Telegram channel that 16,000 foreigners (the number is now estimated to be 20,000) had volunteered.

The LDNR claims of the Ukrainian losses are 18k KIA, Russian are likely tenth that and mostly in a first couple days.
The idiotic propaganda of how the Ukraine is winning is beyond ridiculous.
The entire point is to lure idiots like this who think it is a safari.
That is what the fleeing survivors are telling.
You are correct - the Nazis were National socialists. Just as totalitarian as the International socialists, but with different outgroups to persecute.
But the Left vs Right labels seem to be corrupted in Russia and Ukraine. For instance: there's a literal Nazi paramilitary faction called 'Right Sector', run by Dmytro Yarosh.
Yarosh’s 'Right Sector' forces formed the core of the Azov, Aidar, Donbas and Dnipro battalions.

The bluecheck Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance deleted this recent tweet recently celebrating the racial purity of Ukrainians over racially impure Russians.
I can post endless photos of Ukrainian troops brandishing Nazi flags and wearing Nazi insignia on their uniforms but we've seen those already.
Stinks like Nazis to me.
Excellent post, all true! And even the Nazi larpers are a very tiny number. Just like in most any political organization here you might have a few fringe elements that don’t represent the majority.
But the fact that they are fighting under a Jewish president and Kievs mayor is Jewish is a really important point!
Putin is just like our dems calling Trump supporters nazis.

You were pimping propaganda last week encouraging foreigners to go and die. While you sit behind a keyboard. You’re exactly what’s wrong. Cowardly and evil.
That is why it is wrong to propagandize and romanticize a conflict like this.
Some of these guys are totally unprepared mentally and physically. In their minds it was supposed to be like playing a video game.
yup
i’ll say it again
symbolism aside, are they followers of Hitler? or National Socialism...
i think what they are really implying is, “right wing” and nationalists.
but it does smell of communism
Ukrainian Nationalism embraces the Nazi concepts of racial purity and Leibensraum.
Ukrainian nationalists believe that they are the true pure Slavs and Russians are a mongrel race. Additionally, Ukrainian nationalists believe in forcing ethnic Russians from the Donbas so that they can have it for themselves. One reason Azov has been fighting so fiercely in the Donbas. They're not going to give it up so easily.
Where do you get your sense of logic? It can be 40 million under attack AND a “thugocracy”. One doesn’t exclude the other. I’m not saying it is or isn’t but it’s not a logical impossibility. You want to screw Putin you go right ahead, whatever floats your boat pervert. Leave the rest of us in the West OUT of a possible nuclear war. It’s better every last Ukrainian is lost than having thermonuclear airbursts over Western cities.
It’s the boot licking Zelensky lovers who seem most upset. Hmmm a dictatorial Putin vs a government installed by the fascist West, who to choose….let them fight to the death and leave everyone else out of it.
They’re not Nazis. They were however installed by the West, which is undoubtedly by this point a collection of fascist states. After covid lockdowns, mass vaccine fraud, scientific corruption, mass financial manipulation for decades, inflation, non- stop wars, state control of tech and media etc, our own Western states are textbook fascist. Look at Trudeau and truckers, black mobs burning down neighbourhoods, protests crushed, mob violence against Trump rallies etc. Do you think the Western regimes aren’t fascist?
Well, they installed the Ukraine regime in a CIA backed black op. Fascists beget fascists. There are no good guys here. Not Russia, not Ukraine and not America, anymore.
thx
But they have see a lot of intense, brief firefights and a lot of cat and mouse mutual hunting.
I suspect the latter actually comprises the bulk of the fighting as both sides are quite dispersed.
But they will never have experienced a heavy artillery bombardment, grad missile bombardment, or been on the receiving end of an armored assault.
Don’t be such a child. There aren’t any nuclear airbursts happening over our cities because we give supplies to Ukraine.
When the entire Ukrainian nation is being wiped out by invaders, the corruption of some politicians is hardly the most important issue at the moment.
This hatred of the Ukrainians is misplaced,to say the least.
Oh here we are, you’re another anti American kook who’s decided we’re the fascists.
Take your head out of your arse.
