How effective have foreigners been in the Ukraine conflict? Google says there were ~20,000 in March 2022 so how many are there now?

About as effective as international brigades in the Spanish Civil War
I doubt they are ever anywhere really dangerous
There's been loads of combat footage of then released and plenty of them turning up KIA
Bahmut is about as bad as it gets and some of them are certainly there.
>how many are there now?
Do your own job, Ivan. FSB didn't pay you to browse PrepHole.

Of course they do, why do you think half of 4chan believes Russia is the savior of the white race?
7. There's exactly 7 left now. The previous 19,993 of them killed a grand total of 4 Russians. I know, I heard it from a guy who saw an internal mossad memo about the whole thing.
I highly doubt this because they only took reddit morons and landwhales for like a month
After that they required applicants to have combat and or intelligence experience to join

>he fell for the vatnig psyop
lmao

They didn't accept anybody (who wasn't of Ukrainian blood) without combat experience in the US, UK, France, Germany, etc from the very beginning. They accepted anybody with basic military experience from Belarus, Georgia, Finland, Poland, etc though. Non-combat Westerners were either put into medical or indirect roles, or given combat training in Poland then later filtered into combat roles.
t. Work at a consulate in Canada
Or just walk to the border, some guy who I have contact did it two weeks ago (requirement is still not being a retard and having mil exp). I also heard they have trainings camp in Poland
rofl half my old ranger team went. God I wish my leg and hip weren't fucked.
Probably the same numbers. Ukraine hasn't been tbat much in a hurry to accept foreigners and there is a huge backlog. People who completed their deployment usually comes back to whatever country they originated from.
I have a personal friend who did a tour and came back and I know of another (public figure) who also returned from service.
Not everyone stays for the duration.
Yes a lot of people going back home or making a break for a few months or changing units because they can. Like a friend of mine joined after 1 year legion the AFU
I'd rather sign up for the REAL foreign legion that's gonna save the white race.
There is an article up on the Kyiv Independent depicting the International Legion as a shitshow run by a Polish gangster who openly robbed foreign volunteers, would aim guns at them if they refused to hand over their own gear, and forced them to pay for their own equipment. I am surprised more people on PrepHole aren't talking about it, but because of this one piece of shit Pollack, the International Legion is a bust, and volunteers are now avoiding it.

Hopefully someone frags him before the war ends.
>War profiteering
Why am I not surprised. But then who are they gonna go and cry to? They are in an active war zone of their own volition, no embassy or consulate will touch you with a bargepole if you are actively fighting when your own government is not.
Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if that dude got fragged or arrested after the war.
It's crazy to think that such an article would get you disappeared in Russia.
It would could you Clintoned in America, depending on who you write about.
Post whatever topic would get you killed in America and I guarantee I’ll find an article on it with a still-living author
Gary Webb?
Let me guess you’ll do mental gymnastics just like FSB to explain his death.
>Gary Webb
Plenty of articles about your chosen topic. The writers are still living.
>FSB
Why would the FSB do "mental gymnastics" to explain Gary Webb's death? Why would they care?
Ukraine isn't Russia anon. It's just commies that are getting persecuted there. No loss.
Ukraine is the second most corrupt country in Europe, if you think it was all one Pole and not every former USSR shithead who has been a "career soldier" for the last 35 years selling everything they could steal before 2014 you are delusional.
We like to laugh at Russia for being a corrupt / inept shithole but Ukraine is a close second behind them.
>inb4 muh both sides
I fully support Ukraine defending their boarders and hope Russia collapses for the second time in 3 decades but that doesn't change reality.
It’s certainly true Ukraine had problems in that department, however I’d be careful with extrapolating what they were like ten or five years ago. Certainly the temptation and bad habits may stay in the back of the head, and I’m sure you could find shady shit today - however getting invaded by a larger neighbour intent on eradicating your nation is one hell of a motivator and impulse to reconsider your priorities.
There are many paths Ukies can take after the war ends and I sincerely hope they’ll navigate to and past that point without falling back on that bad reputation.
They could easily end up being least corrupt country in eastern, possibly even entire Europe (depend on what exactly you consider corruption because there are differences between various strains)
Because the war is due in large part exactly to their choice to renounce the legacy of Soviet corruption which has been mitigated in other eastern euro countries (not eradicated by any stretch of imagination) by effort to snap into western structures.
It’s a nice thought but probably it will just be a a corrupt authoritarian shithole that acts as a permanent buffer and cheap services/goods
>oh you're robbing me because THERES NO RULE OF LAW
>ok here take my stuff
>you're going to do the same thing tomorrow to the next group

How is this a problem?
>run by a Polish gangster who openly robbed foreign volunteers, would aim guns at them if they refused to hand over their own gear, and forced them to pay for their own equipment
Based ngl
Those 20k where probably meant for foreigner, which were mostly Ukrainians living abroad but don't have a Ukrainian passport which joined the ukrainian army etc. So number directly under the legion where always around 2.000-3.000 and early in the beginning its was pretty much chaotic. Its a really decentrale with a lot of independent units.
But times change and I would say more than decent but still depends on the units. Some platoons where just digging trenches in the last year but some other platoons operate along side ukranian sof. The legion is also under command of the GUR and its seems like they focus has kinda switches to more recon.
tdlr between t3-t2 depending on the unit
>ukraine
aren't they all foreigners?
>How many foreigners in Ukraine right now?
Putin should know how many he sent abroad.
From what I have read / heard in interviews it ranges from highly trained and motivated people increasing the combat effectiveness of everyone they fight alongside to guys loading a truck up with guns and stealing it in the night.
A few of them played a big part at the beginning of the war in dislodging the VDV from the airport near Kiev. Together with the rest of the AFU there they basically ruined the entire invasion.
Didnt that redditor post himself in a school for updoots and then got it blown up?
remember the redditors that got everyone killed
lmao
