Excerpts from the transcript:
Today [ Mar 19, 8 pm ], we will discuss how Ukraine has experienced a surge in foreign volunteers joining the fight, in the wake of significant policy shifts by the United States. Across the world, thousands of individuals, many of them veterans, have been driven by frustration and a sense of duty to take direct action, traveling to Ukraine to take a stand against Russian aggression.
In response, countless individuals from various countries have taken matters into their own hands. Moved by a sense of duty and solidarity, they have traveled to Ukraine to support its defense against Russian aggression. This mobilization underscores a global rejection of the U.S. administration's perceived abandonment of Ukraine. Foreign volunteer groups have been instrumental in Ukraine's defense. The most prominent of which is the International Legion, which was established shortly after the war started to integrate foreign fighters into the Ukrainian military, with soldiers coming from across the world.
Recently, they announced a new initiative to form an international battalion and have received “a massive spike” of applications, according to an international serviceman involved in recruiting. The source, who spoke anonymously due to his unit’s regulations, said that multiple thousands of applications flooded right after the Oval Office meeting between Trump and Zelensky. The 3rd Separate Assault Brigade has been used in some of the most dangerous areas of the frontline since its founding, like Avdiivka, inflicting significant losses on enemy forces. The brigade continues to actively engage in combat operations and is now forming two international battalions, recruiting soldiers purely from Spanish and Portuguese-speaking nations for one of this battalions.
Amongst the volunteers are even several prominent and notable figures, such as politicians, famous athletes, and more. A prominent example is the cousin of U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. Having served as a volunteer soldier in Ukraine for nearly 3 years, he has openly criticized the current U.S. administration's approach, highlighting a perceived betrayal of democratic values and international commitments.
