Foreign fighters leave Ukraine due to witnessing atrocities 

"Foreign fighters leave Ukraine due to witnessing atrocities" must be: "Foreign fighters leave Ukraine due to asking themselves: Damn why am I even here? What am I doing here?"

Omg the enemy I was trying to kill, tried to kill me. This is an atrocity!

These clowns thought they were fighting goat herders with ak-47s

For the first time in their history, NATO soldiers are fighting against armed soldiers and not farmers and women.

That's what happens when you fight an enemy that can fight back

When you decide to fight for a clown you should know it's going to be a circus.

But CNN told us we were fighting prisoners with 1890s weaponry and shovels! Not tanks! NOOOO!!!!

My dad screamed and woke up middle of the night until age 83. Mom told us that he wasn't the same after coming home from the Korean War.

So let me get it straight, these heavily tattooed and supposedly seasoned combat Mercs went there to fight and kill, then say there's dead bodies everywhere and they are traumatised. "Be careful what you wish for" comes to mind.

I lived in a town in America where a local kid was killed in Afghanistan. They named a park after him. 15 years later we withdraw from Afghanistan and no one cares or even thinks about it. Now his parents are forced to realize that the entire thing was a waste of time and lives.

They went there to commit legal murders for fun, then got scared when they realised they may be at risk. Pathetic

Months of fighting, years of depression, PTSD and anxiety. I wonder if thats why politicians don't do it?

When you hear war crimes are committed by one side only, you know you are being lied to.

He was almost killed trying to attack the enemy line? Good God, what sort of crazy war is this that such a thing could happen? 😮That enemy sounds like a real meanie!

Oh no! How atrocious, the enemy side has enough power to actually fight back! Man, they must feel disappointed that they weren't fighting shepherds as usual.

Throwing a tantrum because your enemy fought back is pure insanity

Foreign fighters leave Ukraine when they found out it's an actual war not a video game.

Does that Irishman know there are invaders occupying his own country? He didn't have to go 3000 miles away to find them,

Where is the UN looking? Russians do not fight with spears and arrows😂😂😂

You're not fighting for Ukraine over there, but for the US pushing for NATO membership!

These foreign fighters heard the Russians were “running out of ammo and tanks” since March 2022, and figured they should join in the fun. Imagine their surprise 🌚

Ukraine is not fighting this war. they have no soldiers whiling to fight nor armoel, This war is totally USA NATO led

'nearly died at war' who could expect that?!

This guy said he had been fighting the Russians for 17 months. I find it remarkable he is still alive, with a life expectancy of little more than 4 hours in the front trenches for a Ukrainian solider and an estimated350,000 of them dead already,maybe he was the tea masher?

Shock! They thought it is a safari and then suddenly the animals are shooting back!

If the cowardly bastards in power had to fight the wars, there would be no wars..

It is clear that one side is not who we were told they were.

What?Can the Australian media tell the truth?I thought they could only say what Washington ordered them to say.

This is what Col MacGregor was saying. NATO forces haven't faced a conventional war in years. Their tactics and strategy is based on what they faced in middle east. Thing is Russians can escalate a whole front line. Bomb your camps, send cruise missile onto your air craft carrier, saturate your air defenses with drone, emply electronic counter measures against you, while at the same time operating 150 batallions at the same time, coordinating and moving. America has not faced such kind of Warfare since world war 2. And Russia unlike others can actually replenish it's lost equipment pretty quickly. These fighters had the comfort of being NATO troops in Afghanistan, where you had bottled water air dropped for you every hour. Here you don't get any of that 'luxury'.

As an Irishman, he's crazy to fight for Ukraine. The people dismantling Ukraine are the same ones dismantling IRELAND as we speak. This man is in effect fighting against his own home country, IRELAND. Figure out who I'm talking about and then youll get healthy again.

As a American combat Vet (US Army 505th PIR 82nd Airborne Division), what the hell did these Brit Volunteers think war was about? I don't get their point. Yes, you will see lots of dead and mangled bodies. That's what happens in real War. You guys claim to have combat backgrounds, but I doubt it. During my years in Service I worked with the British SAS, as well as the Brit SBS, during NATO exercises. The Brits are Top Tier warriors. I totally admire them. But, this lot seems strangely very unfamilier with War in every way. Damn, they couldn't even recognize an Enemy Tank! There's something very wrong with this entire story.

OMG, he was almost killed? That's not what he signed up for as a soldier for hire.

As a Vietnam veteran, I want to know. Did they not realize they were going to a war? Did they imagine they were going to play a video game? Shaking my head.

Ukraine is down over 10 million people, has lost over 25% of it’s land, has sold the rest to Black Rock for $50 and they say Russia is losing the war😅😅😢

I am from Belgium.......We are constantly brainwashed by our politicians who never had en will never have respect for other cultures. They think they belong to the worlds super-race,they were the troublemakers and the provokers of all the biggest catastrophies of the history.... slavery, colonialism, WW1, WW2, use of atomic bomb, modern slavery, and the disaster-wores in Vietnam, lybia, syria, irak.....and so on ! I have a lot of admiration for Putin !

"He was almost killed"---IN A WAR?? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Whoever wrote that headline doesn't realise it's a war. Things happen in wars.

So, I'm confused here... The atrocities that made them leave was... The Russian Army shooting at the Ukrainian Army? Is the bar for what's considered an "atrocity" really that low now?

What were they expecting? It's like they thought it was all a game.

soldiers realizing the enemies are actually trained soldiers and not just guys with rags and old AKs

Imagine volunteering to give up your life to fight for US corporations. Not like that has happened before.

Zero sympathy for those who kill for money.

Well, this guy probably won't get anything he has seen there out of his head ever. My neighbour served as a merc in the Kosovo war back in the 90's. Last year we were casually sitting together in his party room down in his basement when one of his nephews kicked a football against the garage door, causing a loud bang. His immediate response was to get off the bench on one knee and look at the tiny windows visibly stressed. It was just for a second or two until he realised that there was no danger and sat back down again, but you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to know where this response came from. The rest of us played it cool and behaved like we didn't notice anything strange in his behavior, but man, it was heartbreaking to see how mentally wounded this guy still is even 30 years after his trip, I tell you.

Courtesy of NATO staging a coup in 2014 and later refusing negotiation for years .

Translation: they’re kicking our asses. Better get out of here.

There was no atrocities shown on this video, just war.

Why would any foreign want to fight for a nation that essentially started the war by not allowing two regions, Donbas and Crimea secede from Ukraine and started an internal conflict. These regions wanted to join Russia. Right or wrong, Russia was only defending ethnic Russians(in Donbas).

As a soldier during wartime there are only 2 ways of leaving 1 you survive and your side wins 2 you leave the living world

A bunch of foreign mercenaries are directly involved in shelling of the residential area in the city of Donetsk - that's the real atrocities, but they'll never tell you about it in their fancy interviews

They went for the glory. They soon realized no one cared about them if they died or not.

It's happened when you fight against strong military not Iraq when you just does genocide.

Those "fighters" should go to prison when back home, fighting illegaly .

I heard nothing about atrocities, just the brutal realities of war.

they thought to have a walk in the woods, when russian artillery started to hammer they realized that in a war you can even die

"I saw the front, and there were dead soldiers. Dead Ukrainians, dead Russians, trained dead soldiers, just laying there." Is this guy *really* a machine gunner?

“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” - Heraclitus

Ukraine thought war was shelling civilians for 8yrs.

Imagine having to go to war, in order to understand that people are dying "just like that".

Western cowards. They thought it’s call of duty 😂

"Oh no, they're fighting back !, let's get out of here"!

The enemy fought back! What an atrocity!

I am surprised to learn that these foreign fighters are surprised that the enemy can shoot back!

The USA talks about war crimes they forget about the massacre in south Vietnam

Русские применили против иностранных наемников истинное зверство - они не позволяют убивать себя как те привыкли в слабых странах и ...О ужас !! ..сами имеют наглость охотиться на непобедимых охотников !!! 😁😁😁Западные страны после исчезновения сдерживающей силы в лице СССР привыкли к безнаказанности во всем мире и получив закономерный и полновесный удар по наглой морде искренне негодуют , ведь нападать на других -законная прерогатива только Запада 😁США сперва создала террористическую организацию Аль-каиду , теперь поддерживает новую террористическую нацисткую организацию "Украина" . Аль-каиды было мало ? The Russians used true atrocities against foreign mercenaries - they do not allow themselves to be killed as they are used to in weak countries and ... Oh horror !! ..they themselves have the audacity to hunt invincible hunters !!! Western countries, after the disappearance of the deterrent force in the face of the USSR, got used to impunity all over the world and, having received a natural and full-fledged blow to the arrogant face, are sincerely indignant, because attacking others is the legal prerogative of only the West. The United States first created the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, now it supports the new terrorist Nazi organization 'Ukraine'. Al-Qaeda was not enough?

Play silly games win silly prizes. War isn’t fun and games.

Am I missing something here? He goes to the frontline of a ground based war and doesn’t know why people are being killed and doesn’t know why there are dead bodies? WTF???

Ukraine should sign peace instead of putting all it's citizens, foreign citzens and drying out foreign monetary reserves to a war they lost a long time ago

Its not goat herders or rice paddy fighters ... its a real army, kicking ass

Let's be honest: 90% of them aren't idealists, they wanted human safari or just easy money, but when offensive got not as smooth as they thought they ran away.

The "Atrocities" consisted of a T-72 ruining their day. When you have no air support, and your own tanks retreat, you're just meat for the grinder at that point. 😂

This foreign mercenaries think before that they will fight a fighters wearing sandals not a combat boots,a fighters wearing turban not a kevlar helmet,a fighter firing only AK47, RPG7 ,an infantry fighters riding in a donkey fighting vehicle,😂😂😂😂 and now when they realize that they are fighting an army w/sophisticated and advance weaponry they eggs are frozen,retreating and decided to return home alive rather than inside the box,😂😂😂😂

At the beginning of the war, at first, there was confusion in the actions of the Russian troops without a clear understanding of where the front line was, the battles were conducted mainly using ambushes and guerrilla warfare by Ukrainian troops. But later, the Russian troops had a much clearer idea of what was actually happening at the front, and now, accordingly, the Russians are much more effective in organizing their defensive and offensive actions, and, of course, Moscow has a more or less clear overall picture of what is happening in Ukraine.

Fighting for a country that you know so little of, that you cannot even manage to buy the right train ticket.

No America No War😔😔😔

They thought they were playing COD, no matter how many bullets they take, they will respawn at last checkpoint

The problems start when the rules of combat are ignored, specially when innocent civilians are slaughtered. Then the feeling of cause & heroism starts diminishing.

HAHAHAHAHA! THEY EXPECTED AFGHANISTAN THEY GOT WW2 EASTERN FRONT INSTEAD!

They realized this is not Iraq or Afghanistan, they are fighting a a major power with advanced weapons and intelligence they have satellites too, they can pin point you just like nato can with their satellites, but the catch is this is literally a major power back yard. This is a war the alliance will realize they cannot win but not sooner than later, rather later than sooner because of their stubbornness.

Let's talk about west and usa war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Perhaps being in a foreign country fighting for corruption and payoffs they should remain in their own countries and fight for that soil that is being taken from them by invaders.

You know if Sky is reporting this then things are bad. Where's the professor telling us about the Glorious Ukraine offensive and about how Bakmut doesn't mean anything?

Why do foreigners fight in this war? I don't believe that they earn so much money that is worth that risk. Are they insane?

Getting paid for murdering! WTH are they doing there? Thought it was a holiday!????

you should ask him "what is it like to support nazis and not think about all the people who died fighting them in WW2?"

They thought they were going to fight sheep farmers like in Iraq or Afganistán 😂😂😂

Whom in their right mind would want to fight for Ukraines Azov Nazi Militia?????

You know, I don't wish those foreign fighters any ill will for leaving Ukraine. For them to even put their lives on the line for 17 full months of hell, I can only imagine how incredibly traumatizing it is.

i can only imagine our WWII veterans rolling in their graves, knowing their grandchildren are now fighting *with* Nazis

Lesson they learned: don’t believe any media. Shame that for some “volunteers” it was their last lesson they ever had.

This is the war not a theater!

Who is supposed to feel sorry for these War Pigs?

What precisely were they expecting? It's war. As they have demonstrated, they can simply walk away, which is a luxury that Ukrainian and Russian troops do not have. Those who clamor for this nightmare to continue do not understand what war is.

What did they expect? Only fools go to a war that doesn't involve their own country.

He was 'fighting' there for 17 months? Bullshit, he either does laundry or washes dishes.

Taking Ground...to Easy.. HOLDING an Area..TOUGH.

Its hard to be sympathetic. They aren't victims. They are there by choice. The tatoos say it all!!!! They seem to have been a lot braver when it was old people, women and children.

Western media admitting this much shows the grave situation in reality

I don't understand why people who have NOTHING to do with that matter go and risk their lives for a totally corrupted country...

Doesn't seem that this mercenary is having fun since he signed up for a war and is getting exactly that .

I cannot feel sorry for people who volunteer to get involved in other people’s wars, then start complaining about how brutal it is. What were they expecting?
