Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called on foreign fighters to defend against Russian attacks. Many weren't what the Ministry of Defense had in mind.

Hilarious piece from Businessinsider telling the story of couple of guys going to Ukraine to fight with the foreign legion. They barely survived without beeing in any battle. Goes home.

    “My officers told me there were these two guys trying to party in the barracks, and they had to go. They were gone the next day,” Mamulashvili said.
