Thousands of people from around the world have joined the war effort, unsure when or if they will return home

gor Gavrylko was at his home in west London when the Russian bombs began to fall on. A British citizen originally from Ukraine, he had lived in the UK since 1996, working most recently for Nissan as a forecourt salesperson. He rang his boss. “I knew a Russian invasion was going to happen,” he said. “My Ukrainian grandfather fought against the Red Army and the Nazis in world war two. Now it’s my turn to help.”. By the time he arrived in Ukraine his elderly parents had already had a narrow escape.

– and the US. A group of Canadians were spotted in Lviv’s Freedom Square this week, with a large Canadian flag on the back of their vehicle. They identified a cafe for breakfast using Google, only to discover it was closed. Others come from the Baltic states and Georgia, itself the victim of Russian aggression and a punitive five-day war in 2008.

“He wants to rebuild the Soviet Union as part of a Russian empire. It’s no secret,” he said. “Ukraine is in the middle of Europe. The west is pulling one way, Moscow another. Ukraine, the Baltic states, Poland and Moldova are all on Putin’s list.” Asked why Putin had attacked Ukraine now, after 20 years in the Kremlin, he said: “I get the feeling he is very ill.”

Daniel Kovzhun, a computer engineer in touch with would-be Croatian volunteers, said foreigners made an important contribution to the war effort. “The foreign guys are more capable than civilian Ukrainian volunteers who are joining territorial defence. They already know how to fight.” He added: “They find contacts here very quickly. Some of them are now on the frontline.”

Why Putin’s master plan is falling apartThe cracks are beginning to show in Vladimir Putin’s master plan, with the leader now backed into a corner as Russia is threatened with economic collapse. Yeah.. backed into a corner with a trigger finger sitting on enough nukes and other weapons to destroy the planet 10x over and make the world suffer. That's way more frightening It will be too late for the West when they realise that their response to this event was well predicted and planned for.
