Legionaries - International Fighters Share Their Ukraine War Experience (Part II) 

This is the calmest "ah, the jets are coming" I heard during this war...

Finnish Guy at 22:10 is way cool. Seems he came back after being wounded. Also shows solid historical perspective. What a hero.

15 min into this and it is already extremely heavy hitting

It is an honor to hear the voices of these brave and thoughtful soldiers. Thanks for the video.

These people are so down to earth thinking, im so proud and privileged to listen to them, God bless them, im a old vet,and 50 years later I still have night dreams , I wish the leaders of the world could be half as good as these heroes, love you all ❤❤❤,thank you for being who you are

I am sure many books will be written after this war .

42:38 As an Italian. I totally understand this guy. After discussing joining the Ukrainian legion with my best-friend for quite some time, in length and detail he made me realize yeah. You can't really tell your family. They care about you so much, more than you know and plaguing your parents with the thought of you in an infantry role in a truly deadly warzone sounds like something nobody would enjoy doing. I feel bad for my friend because he tries to convince me not to go, and at this point, the war is so complicated that I could literally talk for hours about why everyone should care about Ukraine just as much as these Foreign Fighters there now. I figure if I grew some balls and made up my mind, I would be telling half truths and choosing my language very carefully like "Humanitarian Aid" or working in the west of Ukraine away from the fighting when discussing what I'm doing in Ukraine with my family. You have your reasons to join and they're likely the right ones especially since having the 22 of February 2022 to think about it. The beginning of the undeclared illegal invasion of Ukrainian sovereign territory. Geopolitics is a massive Cyka. Fuckin Trump has me worried I'm not going to lie. Slava Ukraini, Heroyim Slava. You are all fucking heroes. May your God be with you all and bless you. Take care of eachother.

Something that strikes me about all these people: they're thoughtful, intelligent and interesting. This war is a monstrous waste of human potential and talent. These people could do all sorts of excellent things in civilian life.

The German lad is very articulate; he spoke very well and insightfully about the war. God speed to all these brave warriors. I hope they are all doing well.

很好的视频！我看到来自美国，英国，德国，芬兰，意大利，克罗地亚的为乌克兰尔战的战士，谢谢你们制止了俄国的抗张。中国150年来受俄国分裂了最多的领土，但是中国政府依然和俄国走得很近因为意识形态的关系。尽管如此，我仍然完全支持乌克兰为自由而战。

Proud to be in this video 🇮🇹🇺🇦

"...or something worse, one your friends " Fight for the man on your left, fight for the man on your right. When the war is over, remember the precious moments spent side by side.

I really like what he said about making someone's death mean something by putting their equipment to use. I never thought of it that way before

Amazing people ! Cheers from Poland 🇵🇱

You wiil all be Honored in our history books all over the world .... And new generations will learn from you ! Devotion , heart and courage are your salvation . Well done ! 💃🔰

As an American Vet - I Salute All of You!!!

I am so humbled watching this. Stay safe and much love to the guys on the front line and behind. Stay safe guys.and much love. Hope you see tomorrow❤❤❤❤.

I understand this was filmed in 2023. would be interesting to know where they are now.

I am really touched for the high level of morality, motivation, intellectual high mindset that all these soldiers are showing. They are the brilliant spearhead of the true Western World, regardless of skins colors, religions, political believes. They push to thank to be born in this side of the world and be proud of more than 2000 years of history..

This was a game changing video for me. I really thought Ukraine did not chance against the size of Russia. I admit I was wrong. What that first guy said made a lot of sense.

So many bots or paid ruzzian actors in this comment section. These people are absolut heroes.

18:48 “but it’s sitting in the trenches” that’s what the WW1 veterans used to say, that sitting there hearing the whizzbang and artillery going over was terrifying.

Yep, everyone's in this video is still alive. My previous post wasnt correct. Not all recorded footage & interviews have been posted of other platoon members. Got corrected info from my brother 🙏 apologies for that. Will delete once i find my post. Lukas is watching the doc now 🥰🫂💛

Just noticed the female sniper has her blood type tattood on her neck. That's crazy badass

♥💛💙 Oh my God, I'm literally AMAZED at how courageous, wise and mature these young people are ... so far beyond their years ♥💛💙 these are HEROES ♥💛💙

These people are going to be very useful when they come back to their countries. I hope the militaries back in their countries will try to exploit their knowledge and experience to train new troops. Not all armies in the West have war experience or more precisely experience from this kind of warfare.

holy shit that intro, what a blast...

The bomb reminded them they were in a battlefield.the guy ran at first forgetting his rifle.😂😂😂

Men on the front tell it as it is. Brave men.

I would like to see some of these guys interviewed outside of Ukraine.

I recall vividly, from my youth, watching alongside my father the grim news of the war in Yugoslavia, where Serbia 🇷🇸 and Croatia 🇭🇷 found themselves ensnared in a desperate struggle. At the tender age of 14 or 15, these scenes left an indelible mark upon me. Particularly etched in my memory is the Siege of Sarajevo, where ruthless snipers, ensconced upon balconies, aimed their weapons at innocent civilians-ordinary men, soldiers and women simply striving to live their daily lives. These were indeed dark days, and while powerful films have endeavoured to capture the gravity of these events, the raw brutality of war is something that transcends the realm of cinema. I too have faced my own battles, having served in the military here in Finland 🇫🇮(now in the army reserve). I have waged war against the shadows of depression and, through perseverance, emerged victorious. Yet let us be under no illusion-one is never truly prepared for the ordeal of war. The first battles and bombings reveal whether one is cut out for war or if one might not even survive them.The sobering truth is that, regardless of how prepared we believe ourselves to be, the tempest of war remains beyond our complete control or prediction. It is precisely in the face of such uncertainty that our resolve must shine with its greatest brilliance. A big thank you🙏 to you soldiers and legionnaires, and to everyone who is doing important work in Ukraine🇺🇦. Your efforts are crucial in pushing back the tide of war and striving for W 💪 and peace, for the peace of Ukraine 🇺🇦 & Europe. ❤💙💛 ---TPM80 and little helper---

I'm draining this beer for yinz kids taking my old ass to school. Thank you.

Thank you for your work and for these interviews.

Bro, you did this interviews? I see some huge ass potentian here.

I heard a Kiwi accent with one of those men.

Thanks been looking forward to this 👍👍👍👍🌻🌻🌻🌻🕶️

46:50 The solider here sums up my views perfectly, I have signed up for exactly the opinions he expresses. I hope it's not a death sentence, I just want to do good in my lifetime and this seems like the right thing to do - to protect the Ukrainian people.

Great interview 👍

Glory to the Great Legionaries fighting for freedom.

Slava ukraini from italy! 🇮🇹🇺🇦

25:00 That i totally understand that Fin´s and Ukrainians share same spirit of never give up and fight for their freedom and land. i think they two understand each other most and best. But what i want to say is, every nation that had wars against Russia can relate. We Swedes hate Russian and its in our DNA. 14 wars against Russia, 7 won 7 lost. And in the town i grew up in was burned totally by the Russians and only two houses survived the Russian attack in Sweden. Those two houses still stands in the middle of the town reminding us that is all what was left of our town in 1719, 300 years ago.. yea the two houses still stands and in one of them its a tobacco shop, and in the other one you could before at least visit the travelling agency in the other house. Those two houses are older than USA.

Just Respect every Foreign Fighter from Ukrainian Recon Marine

Great job!

We salute you, brave ones!

Afghanistan is a country of about 40 million. And they defeated Russia who was alot bigger back then. Now Russia only has around 140 million people total. Ukraine is gonna win this war.

For an amazing ww1 read check out "Merry Hell A Dane With The Canadians" by Thomas Dinesen...he received the vc cross at the somme. He was a dane. My ancestor. We will not forget.

The finnish guy seems like a Great volunteer! I hope you all make it. I wish I could be there with you

Now that’s an intro

Balls of steel.

I hope enemies of Ukraine are not learning how to fight by watching all of these videos.

SLAVA UKRAINI 🇮🇹🫂🇺🇦

great stuff

She is one serious badass

Although, I totally respect Kat, I have spoken to her before these documentaries, I believe her to be a hero and if my daughters were half as smart or astute I'd be extremely proud! However, comparing the British Empire to Russian aggression now is extremely unfair, yes the British Empire did some heinous shit in its beginners going into the middle, but as evil as Russia? No way, the British people involved in that time of British history were products of their time, their views were the views of the time, they were ordinary people like me and her today, but with just different understandings of the world.. This was proven in world war 2 when thousands upon thousands of British lads died for India against the Japanese, despite us preparing to give India independence and few years down the line, men made sure, good men, despite their questionable views at the time, that British Empire wasn't replaced by an even worse diabolical Empire of the Japanese, not only that but tribes that had killed each other for years, Muslim, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christian and so on, kachins, Karens, Gurkhas and pathens were brought together under one flag by the British, no one else managed to do that.. They all fought and died together for the same land, just for Britain to leave a few years later.. And the biggest difference between Russia now and the British Empire then, is that the world was different and they acted as per the norms of the day, the laws of their time, and as soon as views could be changed the British were some of the first to do away with the worst things and attempt fairness, their was instances of NZ Maori Spit fire pilots that were refused service in Indias coffee shops because they were dark skinned, they would only serve the white Brits, and the military reposted the New Zealanders to the European theatre! How many evil Empires would do that.. But Russia! Russia acts out its Empirical desires now in a modern age when people have learned the wrongs of Empires, they send their men to be butchered when the rest of the world tries to avoid human waste.. Like I say, I respect Kat, but I don't believe there is any comparison.

He is so right why is America holding the weapons against when the delivery should have been sent so long ago. I didn't understand what's holding then back . Is limited

Ukrainian frontline is collapsing He probably is in Kursk And he will be enveloped Due to the ineptitude of its commanders Ukraine has fallen into the trap many of nations have and entered Russian soil This could of been all avoided This will go down In history as it already is as a failure for the us No magical system will solve the problem Of logistics And competent leadership Unless Ukraine has at most 100k troops to support its lines which in a few days one of the most Heavy entrenched place before the war began They would have to tactically defeat Russia Every operation and counter offensive failed when Mariupol was lost I just hope this ends soon the destruction the loss of generations The science of war is not won upon emotion and ideals

So much respect to these people

RUN away!! Lol just left the man there. Lol

Great work

"so fuck em"...exactly ma'am

It's all propaganda. both sides... All sides... All four sides😢

SLAVA UKRAINE , Respect for all lost and living heroes !!

Thank you all, Love from Canada and the USA. Slava Ukraini I'm Canadian, My Wife is USA

I keep hearing that being a soldier is 'addicting' and whatnot, but it's my personal theory that folks just like to be out in nature with friends all focused on a task and helping people 😅

Just Dogs of War: no need for explanation

Numquam retro! Thanks, man!

What’s the name of the ‘kid’ who was quoting They Shall Not Grow Old?

What amazes me is how many Brits joined these units, but where we're they in 1939 for us, Poles ? What amazes me is the Brits' motivation for this war surprised knowing majority of them had nothing no relatives in Ukraine etc think its too much COD in Uk caused / grown so many recruits

I bet that is one hell of a drug

Damn she has that main character energy

Guys in this video - you are the heroes of the Free World, the Hero-Warriors of the Democratic World, you are the pride of the human race and this planet, thank you that such cool guys like you fighting for the independence of my country and the rest of the world. I hope many of you will receive our citizenship in the future, start families and become a new, wonderful generation of Ukrainians of the Future. Glory to Ukraine. We need more of you guys, really.... "Please save Ukraine ma friend Please stop-Russian Putinator. Розбомбили все тут вщент Дирка від бублика-а не Імператор" ©YourCoach (ft. AMBDex) - "I am Ukraine"

To the Kiwi bloke at 43:50 if you see this reply to it, I'm back home in Aotearoa and would like to support you in your fight. How can I contact you or your whanau?

"Oh shit" moment

How about the Knights of St. Olga!? These guys are the new knights defending the holy land of Ukraine

Working on coming to help, can't stand civilian life. It's too different for me, people only care about themselves now and there falacy beliefs. YOU ARE ALL REAL HEROS

Our Team have been here since 2014 and so MANY of the UFL soldiers that we have encountered in the 59th , Chosen Company. 50/50 etc really lack the necessary skills and training that they need to operate professionally in the Battle Space. Those that are being interviewed in this video are better then most, but they still need to switch on and get squared away , because their Commanders are very sub par that we know like Major K Colonel V ,B etc etc ..Kat is training to be a sniper, but we review what she does, her equipment and her weapon skills as with the others, they need to have people around them who are professional and professionally trained to teach them.They have the will . but not the skill. We will find her and her team and assist when it is possible.

0:19 Russian artilleryman dislikes )))

39:00 and this is why we in Sweden send even more stuff, the problem is, it´s our stuff that we would have used if Russia comes to invade, we dont have any more stuff that is unused. But we still send what we can.

Her tatts are so fricking dope. also, got damn, feel bad for Ukraine, frick this war

If the Kiwi bro in this video sees my comment, please let me know how to contact your Dad so I can contribute to you guys with both bravery and honororable values.Respect. Kia Kaha 🫶🌿 Slava Ukraini 🙏🇺🇦

"to based for leftist Media". True. So this is a very good Video. Greetings from Germany

Ukraine for the win !

I watched a lot of Russian telegram for an accurate view of the war. because the west portrait this picture it all went so easy for UKR. I saw the Russians really liked to show all the graves of the Ukrainian people. taking a heavy, heavy' beating. And I could see that was a real problem bc Ukraine being the smaller country. However to see all that propaganda and know now they have just invaded Russia and kicking ass after so much hardship. one can only have the utmost respect for the Ukrainian people for their persistence and skills. Unbelievable. Keep your gun powder dry! greetings a Dutch paratrooper

The German guy is super smart.

WHAT I ask myself is how can u say the tactics are bad when you are in a defensive position that got prepared for 8 years and you are still losing ground everyday.. you know guys like it makes no sense to me.. i would like to have some brainstorming here pls keep it civil

What a terrible way to live. The crazy part is they don’t even need to be there. They volunteered to be shelled and bombed.

Way you not say the truth Ukrainien losing more Soldiers

are some of these interviews from early 2023? 35:34

Slava Ukraini! 💙💛

You are all brave people. I wish you good health and to be safe. I hope the west will help more and wake up from their dream. Because without involving things will not get better. Slava Ukraine.

It's interesting how in both sides these MERCENARIES are called : Volunteers International fighters Freedom fighters and other forms to hide who they really are and why they went there.

There's a small video glitch at 26:37.

For all the adrenaline junky's out there; go help Ukraine and those hero 's.

Best wishes to these bad ass warriors. I got used myself in the iraq war. I learned that nothing is what it seems in these proxy wars. I genuinely hope they all do well even though im aware of the real story of Ukraine. Good people...bad politicians and globalists.....terrible

Croats in Ukraine since 2014. Mostly fans of dinamo zagreb. In that interview, he is one of the former leaders of BBB (that's the name of dinamo zagreb fans who have been in friendly relations with Dynamo Kyiv fans for more than 15 years). Dynamo Kyiv fans helped the Croats to distribute them on the battlefield. Some 50-60% who came to Ukraine in 2014. already had experience with the war in Croatia (1991-1995). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sfsr2lhobIk.htmlsi=LgB9DuVxLr11q6Ln

1:02:45 Well said!

God speed, Legionnaires 🟦🟨

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇮🇹

Can a person who is untrained and has no experience in war join the legion?

47:45 They just make as much grain as France, and no one talk about France's grain production. So it's not that important. The polish grains producers are pissed of all the ukrainian grain that's coming in Europe now so i'm sure we'd have no problem doing without Ukraine's grain. Prices will go up so Poland, France and others will just produce more and the farmers who dont earn much will maybe finally get a fairer salary.
