Mercenaries are fighting for the Ukrainian armed forces and judging by their accents it’s clear they are from English-speaking countries. Indeed there are thousands of soldiers from NATO countries currently on the ground in Ukraine.
Some are there officially, teaching their allies how to use the billions of dollars worth of weaponry sent over the border. Less clear are the roles of the mercenaries fighting on the front line, particularly former special forces. In the opening days of the war, three British special forces were reported feared dead in a Russian missile strike.
And this is Ben Wallace, former Royal Marine Commander, son of a serving Conservative British Member of Parliament. He recently posted footage of himself at the front.
There has also been controversy over this man, Trevor Cadieu, a former Canadian General. He is known to have gone to Ukraine to fight. And is rumored to be among those who surrendered at Azovstal. Eduard Busurin told me that he thinks the Russians have him and are keeping it quiet as a negotiating tool. While there is no evidence of this, Cadieu’s current whereabouts are still unknown.
The US, in particular, is sending billions of dollars worth of high-tech equipment as well as crucial military intelligence in order to help Ukraine kill Russian soldiers. Bruce Fein, a constitutional expert, recently said the United States and several NATO members have become co-belligerents with Ukraine against Russia by systematic and massive assistance to its military forces to defeat Russia.
