The International Legion includes soldiers from many countries who have fought and died alongside Ukrainians.
DW’s Mathias Bölinger visited some of the International Legion fighters who had just come back from the front.

  • There is a female Swedish member of parliament with a military background who went to Ukraine and trains soldiers. Of course, a lot of people from all over have come to be medics or just to make camouflage nets. You don't have to be in combat to contribute to the Ukrainian victory. As for me, I send money every month and I write to my senators and representatives and sometimes to leaders in the military. We can all do that, at least. It takes 3 minutes to send an email or to make a phone call, and each time a constituent contacts them, it adds up and gives them more bargaining power in discussions about support for Ukraine.

Otherwise, I would definitely join up even though I'm already quite advance in age. I still have all my limbs, and can still move around freely on my own. I may not be fit for the frontlines, but I can certainly still help in the background or as part of the support troops.

If 99.99% of the world stands with Russia - which seems unlikely - then it doesn't bode well for the human race. But tell me - how did those African leaders who went to Russia fare? Did Putin suddenly start up the grain deal again for the welfare of the 99.99% of the world you say support him? Nope.@@Dailyopinion-uo5nw

    • Both can be true, *and are* Majority of the losses are either penal battalions or entrenched "holding troops" Russia has learned much from the wastefulness of the Afghanistan campaign. They *do* have some glaring and exploitable weaknesses that drones are best suited for utilising, however. It's better to say they are *improperly equipped* than ill-equipped, since early equipment distribution expected occupancy followed by high partisan activity, not an *actual* "shooting war" against a similarly mobilised military

Sure some will die in their first week, but I suspect the ones that don't, were made for this kind of war. Perhaps their lack of experience is a benefit in some ways, this is a modern war, the likes we have not seen before, strategies are not the same.

    • @@johanmetreus1268 In the cold geopolitical logic the end of the war is not what weakens Russia the most. Them suffering constant casualties and having to deploy their army in Ukraine means the rest of their neighbors face no threat for the duration of it. Seeking peace is for other reasons, usually humanitarian, rather than strategic. Only if the Ukrainians are seen to be losing and potentially capitulating entirely it would be in everyones interest to see an end to the war. So far this hasn't been the case and only pro-russian or other rather mistaken people are seen to advocate Ukraine terminating the conflict at any cost in peace terms.

    • @@herptek The geopolitical logic is right on point, but I think you are missing the nuance when it come to those wanting the war to end fast. There is of course the pro-Russian posture of "saving Ukraine" by in effect unconditional surrender to Kremlin, but for the neighbouring countries things are quite different. The on-going war is a constant drain of resources, and also upsets the markets everywhere. Peace and quiet is a good thing. Thus, from our perspective, the best possible outcome would be Ukraine crushing all the Russian forces inside their country so hard and fast that Kremlin falls and a new government less enthusiastic about expansion takes over.

If Russia itself crumbles before the stress imposed by the economic sanctions or other consequences of the war then that is a different thing. It might take a while and people should get used to hard times. Economies can re-orient once it will be clear that there is no going back to how things used to be.
