Six American special ops veterans are on the Polish border, ready to enter Ukraine and join the resistance against Putin's army after a call for help from President Zelensky.
The men are joined by three British veterans and a German, all of whom are NATO-trained and ready to assist the Ukrainian territorial defense teams.
They are believed to be among the first to join the newly former International Legion of the Territorial Defense of Ukraine that Zelensky announced on Sunday after a weekend of staving off the enemy.
BuzzFeed News cites an unnamed US Army veteran recruiter who said there are also two former US infantry officers ready to fly to the region to provide leadership for the group.
They will join sixty British volunteers who are also planning to make their way to Ukraine to help the fight.
Sixty British volunteers are heading to Ukraine to fight against Vladimir Putin's Russian forces, led by Mamuka Mamulashvili, Georgian National Legion (pictured training in Kyiv in January) commander
It is unclear if he also recruited the ten NATO troops who are already on the Polish border.
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said on Sunday the UK would back Britons if they travelled to join the resistance movement who are bravely repelling the Russian forces.
The White House has not made any such endorsement.
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said he didn't 'want to see British people killed any more than I want to see Ukrainians' and asked people who were not properly trained or an 'experienced member of an armed forced' not to join the war in Ukraine.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine was 'very dangerous', he told Sky News, and there were 'better ways' to support the country.

Sounds like they just renounce their U.S. citizenship.
Respect.
I hope Vindman is there fighting.
Spanish civil war redux in some ways.
The same happened in 2014. This really isn’t a big deal. Although, the Putinists will stroke out about it and try to make it one.
Putin is shaking. 😆
Russia is counting on the high-priced oil to finance this incursion. Reinstating the Keystone Pipeline and freeing up federal oil leases is a start. Reverse all Executive orders that restrict US oil production (EO #3395). Why this idiot sent that order out and then talks about using the US oil reserves just proves how far around the bend this clown is.
Doing the above causes expectations to be such that the spot price of oil will drop and with it, the ability of Russia to finance this war.
Putin is shaking
I’m sure he is. Finland just announced a large shipment of arms to Ukraine. I’m sure you know your history there.
“..British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said he didn’t ‘want to see British people killed any more than I want to see Ukrainians’ and asked people who were not properly trained or an ‘experienced member of an armed forced’ not to join the war in Ukraine.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine was ‘very dangerous’, he told Sky News, and there were ‘better ways’ to support the country...”
“better ways” - like what????
No, that does not worlk that way. Fighting in a foreign war does not revoke one’s US Citzenship.
Such revocation can only de done in federal court by petition or complaint.
If there was federal law preventing US citizens from fighting in foreign wars, you would have most of Blackwater Security gone.
It is interesting how people were decrying how the media was lying and covering up for the cdc and who etc. Now love the media and George soros.
Not Smart.
So should 3 or 4 US born Olympic athletes.
“...Russia is counting on the high-priced oil to finance this incursion....”
The USA IS FINANCING the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We buy from Russia almost 600,000 barrels of oil PER DAY, paid for in US dollars.
Send guns and ammunition.
And send in people who are properly trained and experienced members of an armed force (ex-military).
Or at least look the other way when these things are done.
Not me. I’ve not watched 2 minutes of fake news in the past month.
Trump was down to 59% in the CPAC poll. Soros appreciates your support.
