    Foreign fighters fighting for Ukraine are believed to have originally been on the order of 3,000-4,000 people, with almost half of them being defectors from Russia and volunteers from Georgia, Belarus, and other Russian neighbors. The number may currently be down to 1,000-2,000 people. Ukraine originally announced 20,000 foreign fighters, but that was either an exaggeration or a lot of people that did not follow through on their commitment.

    If anyone tells you that there are two million troops supplied by 50 nations fighting for Ukraine, they are illiterate morons with a thumb up their ass. Don't disturb them, because it might not be their own thumb--it could be a Russian thumb. Just laugh and shake your head at the stupidity. It's extreme propaganda.

    Ukraine was a magnet for foreign fighters. After 2 bruising years, many are disillusioned or dead.
