    This might be somewhat unpopular with some people, but I don’t think Ukraine should involve itself in other countries’ civil wars, but I can see why they’d do that:

    1. they fight against Russian interests, and
    2. they get brownie points with the West for fighting against their enemies

    Still not a huge supporter of that, though.

      Those Russian mercenaries are running recruitment operations to feed foreign nations e.g. Syrians into the Ukraine theatre.

      I think they just want to kill Russians anywhere and everywhere. That’s one less that will come to Ukraine. I don’t blame them

        Russian military? Sure. Russians altogether? That’s a bit genocidal. They shouldn’t sink down to Putin’s level. Besides that, I honestly think that there are bigger geopolitic reasons to allow their soldiers to go fight in other places other than at home.
