VICE: ‘I Don’t Want to Be Cannon Fodder’: Foreign Fighters Are Leaving Ukraine
A would-be fighter tells VICE World News that concerns over a lack of firepower, war tourists, and potentially being executed by the Russians have put him off joining Ukraine's foreign legion.
When Phil, a 35-year-old former officer in the British Army, heard Ukraine’s call for foreign fighters to help defend the country from the Russian invasion, he felt he had to join the fight.
But after a fact-finding trip into Ukraine to get a better handle on the situation, he’s had second thoughts. “There’s no point wasting my life for nothing,” he told VICE World News.
“If I think I can go and support in a way that’s going to contribute to the security of Ukraine and the safety of Europe, then I will. But I don’t want to go on a suicide mission.”

"Putin is being misinformed by his advisers about how badly the Russian military is performing and how the Russian economy is being crippled by sanctions because his senior advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth," a US official said.
I am sorry - can't he read the news?

Good troll job, they haven't raised any such thing. They've oriven themselves to be formidable and tenacious tacticians
The redditors that the Ukrainian troops refuse to integrate with? Where are you finding this information?
Someone needs to tell antitroll that Russia is no longer communist. Antitroll no longer has to slavishly approve of everything Moscow does anymore.
Vice is a commie agiprop org. Anytime you see a story like this it means just the opposite, the baby killers are getting smacked around by the FF's!
You should go help them win man. It's easy pickings over there. Most guys are killing 2 baby killers with every bullet.
The only baby killers are the Russians.
Proof:
On the attacking side are Russian conscripts, regular army soldiers and mercs. the Russian have been shelling hospitals and apartment blocks.
Yeah and 20,000 of them have been killed. It's so easy you just warm up on Fortnite for 10 minutes and then go out and blast 10 conscripts while the ghost of Kiev protects you from on high (it would normally be more Russians killed but they only give you 10 bullets). Lets all go sign up together. Andrew Jackson is driving.
If the Russian have not lost 20,000, they are chicken shit. To take light casualties and still be afraid to advance!
