Foreign Fighters of Donbass (2022)

Overview

International soldiers of the Donbass militia volunteered to fight Ukrainian neo-Nazism. They’re from Mexico, Columbia, the USA, Serbia, and all over the globe. Locals treat them as heroes, while their homelands consider them criminals and mercenaries. If they return, decades of prison could await them. But they don’t regret it – Donbass has become their home. Unlike international military instructors and mercenaries in the Ukrainian army, foreign volunteers of the Donbass militia have strong motivation. They confront neo-Nazism as their ancestors did. Whatdo they do and how doe they feel about what they see?
