Ukrainian embassy draws US citizens seeking to fight in war

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has given the smaller nation’s embassy in Washington an unexpected role: recruitment center for Americans who want to join the fight.

Diplomats working out of the embassy, in a townhouse in the Georgetown section of the city, are fielding thousands of offers from volunteers seeking to fight for Ukraine, even as they work on the far more pressing matter of securing weapons to defend against an increasingly brutal Russian onslaught.

“They really feel that this war is unfair, unprovoked,” said Ukraine’s military attaché, Maj. Gen. Borys Kremenetskyi. “They feel that they have to go and help.”

Here's your chance to Make Ukraine Great Again.

A 40-year-old Canadian sniper known only as 'Wali' is set to join the fighting in Ukraine after answering President Volodymyr Zelensky's call for foreign volunteers to help defeat Russian invaders

Georgia’s former defense minister Irakliy Okruashvili has arrived in Ukraine with his squad to join the International Legion.

I’m confident there isn’t a single warmongering politician — or any of their FR sycophants — lining up there at the embassy.

Quite a few Americans served in the RAF under similar circumstances during the Battle of Britain in 1940-1.

Belarusian exiles have formed the first unit of foreign fighters taking up arms for Ukraine following President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for a new international brigade to join their war against Russia

[GMThrust]

More propping up of Uke. Highly unlikely that a canadian would fight for another country when they wouldn’t even stand up and fight their own. Same with our country. This is more PR.

[Vigilanteman]

I will give 100 to 1 odds you are right.

[EEGator]

We have 5 or 6 on FR that should go.
They talk tough and want all out war…

[mewzilla]

It’s not PR.

It’s propaganda.

[KobraKai]

Hahaha go protect that corrupt shithole! Complete morons. They aren’t freedom fighters, but dumb enough to believe they are. What they are fighting to preserve, but aren’t smart enough to comprehend, is to preserve US politician investments from the likes of Biden and Romney families.

[wastedyears]

Isn’t it a war crime to not fight under a flag?

[McGruff]

Since it's in Washington DC there alot of politicians that talk tough. Marco, Lindsey here's your chance.

[wastedyears]

Soros, Clinton, Kerry and Pelosi too.

What do Romney, Kerry, Biden and Pelosi have in common? They all have kids sitting on the boards of Ukrainian energy companies.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Putin should have taken out Soros, Schwab and the evil Clinton/Obama/Biden regime in one simultaneous strike.

If he would have done that, we would have peace on earth right now. /spit

They might snag a few idealists.

The war propaganda is being laid on pretty thick.

That would be the 'Walker Brigade'. I can't wait to see them shuffling their feet to Moscow.

[Who is John Galt?]

Quite a few Americans served in the RAF under similar circumstances during the Battle of Britain in 1940-1.

That would likely have been a lot easier, because the Yanks & Brits all spoke English. Going to Ukraine, if you don't speak their language, could get you killed your first day there.

Seems like I once read (with regard to combat), "If you don't have communications, you don't have sh!t"...

In the Spanish Civil War the “international brigades” were a small number of primarily communists; many of them were persona non grata in their home countries. They had no impact beyond propaganda purposes; useless as real soldiers.

[Manuel OKelley]

That’s a given.
