Why foreigners fighting for Ukraine are reluctant to join International Legion, and what they need

Thousands of foreigners are fighting for Ukraine as part of the official International Legion, the Armed Forces of Ukraine told LIGA.net in a statement. But there are those who do not want – or cannot – join the Legion’s ranks.

Andrew, an American, admits that he has heard many contradictory facts about the International Legion and so preferred the Ukrainian unit.

Anastasia Leonova, a Russian, served as a volunteer paramedic for thirteen months and is now ready to continue fighting only if she signs a contract.
