Mercenaries or Volunteers? American Citizens Are Fighting for Both Russia and Ukraine
During these two years of war in Ukraine, people from all over the world felt compelled – either by ideology, compassion, or expectations of monetary gains – to head for the theatre of hostilities to engage in combat for one of the warring sides.
What’s in a name? If they choose the side we support, we call them ‘volunteers’; if they fight for the enemy, we call them ‘mercenaries’.
One way or another, US citizens are NOT exceptions to the rule and have been recorded to be taking part on both sides of this conflict from the very start.
Going through the Telegram channels covering this war, we find a few recent examples of Americans directly involved in the operations.
