Ukraine bravely resisted Russia’s aggression and successfully held off the Russian army’s offensive. People from all over the world who might not stand Russia’s aggression volunteered to participate in the battle to assist the Ukrainian military in fighting the enemy. So far, 20,000 “foreign volunteers” have responded to the call. Now, it is rumored that both sides will dispatch international troops. Russia has also been recruiting troops in Syria recently. It is hoped that with the experience of people who are good at fighting urban warfare, they will help Russia to capture the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, and cause a devastating blow to Ukraine.
According to comprehensive foreign media reports, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba recently stated that there are as many as 20,000 “foreign volunteers” from 52 countries who responded to the call and will join the newly established international army in Ukraine. Leba did not disclose how many people had arrived in Ukraine, nor did they disclose their nationalities, only that some countries did not allow citizens to participate in wars in other countries.
The report pointed out that the British chief of defense staff Tony Radakin (Tony Radakin) has said that the British are not legal to go to Ukraine to participate in the war, and can not provide much help, but Denmark’s position is the opposite, allowing its nationals to participate in the war in Ukraine. And Russia is also seeking help. U.S. Defense Department spokesman John Kirby confirmed that the Pentagon believes in reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to recruit foreign soldiers, especially those targeting Syria. view.
Russia sent troops to assist Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in fighting the rebels in 2015. It is well known that Syrian soldiers are quite good at urban warfare, so Russia has been recruiting troops in Syria in recent days. The number of soldiers is still unclear, but according to media in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor district, Russia recruits soldiers at a price of 200 to 300 US dollars (regarding 5,600 to 8,400 New Taiwan dollars), and the contract time is 6 months.
Nearly two weeks following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the progress was not as expected and internal problems continued. There were even repeated rumors that some soldiers went to the battlefield without knowing or half-coaxing. Soldiers’ Mothers, a human rights NGO in the Russian military, previously revealed that they had received a large number of complaints from parents that their son was suddenly asked by the military commander to “sign a contract to fight”. Zhou Cai was caught in the “illegal expulsion” of the Ukrainian invasion forces.
According to Archyde.com, Putin said in a televised speech on International Women’s Day on 38, “I want to stress that the recruited soldiers are neither, nor will they take part in combat, nor will they mobilize additional reserve soldiers.” There have been a lot of doubts and anti-war noises, and Putin may have turned his mind to Syria, where the Russian army once sent troops to help suppress the rebels but killed a large number of civilians.
