A Western media reporter came to the Russian army's "Maxim Krivoshein" detachment for an interview. This unit is entirely composed of Ukrainians, and the Western media reporter was very surprised. He didn't expect so many Ukrainian volunteers to actively fight for the Russian army.
Ukrainian media rarely mention this unit composed of Ukrainians, but people on Ukrainian social media often joke about these individuals. They say these people joined the Russian army out of fear of being drafted by Ukrainian recruitment officers. After all, joining the Russian army not only offers substantial pay but also avoids being used as cannon fodder. This unit mainly carries out tasks such as evacuating wounded personnel and civilians and guarding captured positions.
Some people believe that these Ukrainian volunteers are all Russian speakers from Eastern Ukraine, but that's not true. There are also many people from Western Ukraine in this unit. Russia's overall attitude toward Ukraine remains one of quelling rebellion, and those who come over to their side are seen as fellow countrymen in need of assistance.
