Following the launch of the Russian offensive on February 24, it has been widely reported that hundreds of volunteers have responded to the call to fight for Ukraine, most of them with previous war experience.
Following the March 13 Russian missile strike on the Yavoriv base in western Ukraine where dozens killed among western fighters, volunteers have fled the country as the intensity of the war was more than they had anticipated, writes the American network MilitaryWatchMagazine.
Swedish volunteer Jesper Soder described the rocket attack as “hell on earth”.
“It made Scandinavian, British and American fighters rush to the Polish border. They, the Russians knew exactly how to strike, they knew where our weapons depots, administrative offices were.
A U.S. Army veteran who survived the attack in Yavoriv said: “I survived after the rocket hit the structures and not the tents where we are standing.”
Regarding Western volunteers, he added: “Some were professional and still competent soldiers, some were drunkards, with superficial war experience, or people who should not be here at all,” the American network writes.
The highest-profile death in this category is that of a Canadian NATO NATO veteran of the war in Afghanistan, the sniper known as the ‘Guardian’, who served there from 2009 to 2011, and then with Syrian course militants against ISIS. The circumstances of his death, like many other facts from the war, remain unknown. ///MilitaryWatchMagazine
