Zitat:But it is here, amid the ruin and rubble of war, that the squad of European fighters, fighting under the aegis of the Azov regiment, is basing its combat operations.
While the group of about a dozen Europeans (their number varies) fighting in eastern Ukraine are not directly connected with NATO or Western militaries, their presence proves that Russians are not the only foreigners fighting here.
In fact, the Azov regiment counts among its ranks former soldiers from almost 20 different countries who have come to fight against Russian and separatists forces.
