Interesting. Could you do a more step-by-step description about how it goes (recruitment, etc.) and how you think mercs are being inserted in Ukraine? I know the latter is speculative, but your educated guess would be interesting.
how you think mercs are being inserted in Ukraine?

First,
Mercenaries, definition “: a soldier who is paid by a foreign country to fight in its army : a soldier who will fight for any group or country that hires him”- are not the major concern.
Understand anyone fighting for the Ukies or Vlad that do not have a Ukie passport are mercenaries. A blue passport holder ( US citizen) going over to Ukraine is a mercenary, even if as a medic, or in a “non combat role”. They are being paid by a foreign country for their services in a foreign war, and at one time or another may have to use deadly force against a foreign National.
The troubling fact I believe is there are types over there that are getting paid by a .gov agency , recruited by front companies to give the appearance they are private citizens. A private citizen supposedly can do as they wish, but in my time we were warned to not participate in hostilities in a foreign conflict. Loss of US citizenship was the penalty.
As to how they are being “ inserted”? Non US registered Front companies, Afghanistan had Blackwater, Dyncorp ( now disbanded and names changed). IF .gov has contracted private “ security “ companies or foreign companies ( most likely) to do their work, they are just as guilty as outright paying them directly. Who paid their plane tickets? Who gave them their medical coverage? Who is the insurer? What company is their life insurance policy with?
Are they being paid in cash? I was in one contract.
The issue to me is mute if a private individual pays his way, but inevitably he is not working for free and is receiving payment from the Ukies. Who will prosecute him? Definitely no one in the corrupted Biden admin…not equal justice- remember the clowns rushing over to Syria to fight for Isis? Some were prosecuted, some not.
If these clowns want to go fight Vlad- fine, they are no different than Kadyrov’s volunteer group fighting the Ukie Nazis…But if . Gov is paying, that is wrong.
