The Ukrainian International Legion.

[frazzled]

4. Ukraine does not want untrained Americans

(or other nationalities) to come. Only those highly qualified to join and be accepted in the International Legion.

They are asking the many Americans who are just coming over to fight to please leave. It’s a huge liability for them and for us. If inexperienced combatants are captured, Russia will use them for propaganda to claim we (and the West) are secretly sending in forces. And that (false) proposition will give them the excuse to escalate or expand their already abhorrent warfare.

So stay home. There was a long segment on this issue last night on the news. Just because Ukrainian civilians are (legitimately) fighting to protect their country, it doesn’t mean foreign citizens should be coming. Ukraine is firm on this, and it’s been a problem.
