7,000 Colombians Fighting For Ukraine On The Frontlines (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 4:21pm On Feb 15
🇨🇴 Colombian soldiers have become the largest foreign contingent within the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the Russian military operation.

Approximately 7,000 fighters traveled from Latin America to assist Ukrainians in resisting Russian aggression. These soldiers actively master modern technologies and demonstrate high efficiency in drone operations during combat missions.

The BBC reported this development while analyzing the contribution of international legionnaires to national defense. Experienced military personnel from Colombia mostly arrive in Ukraine at their own expense.

According to Sergeant Luis Ortiz, 1,200 individuals joined his unit in just four months. Most volunteers possess extensive combat experience because the Colombian army follows NATO standards and is considered one of the strongest in its region.

The high intensity of combat operations forces volunteers to adapt quickly to the conditions of a major war. A fighter with the call sign “The Guardian” says he came to defend Ukraine out of a sense of justice.

Currently, he specializes in remote target detection. Despite the initial challenges of facing Russian artillery, Colombians have become a vital part of the defense in difficult sectors, including Avdiivka.

Furthermore, Colombian specialists often face bureaucratic hurdles. Sergeant Ortiz helps newcomers process documents correctly to avoid payment issues.

The command in Kyiv is currently working to centralize foreign units for better coordination. New Ukrainian legislation also simplifies the citizenship process for those who intend to stay in the country after the war.

"A handful of Africans, barely up to 50 in numbers fight for Russia."

Western media: Africans are dying for Putin's evil war.

"20,000 Colombians and Europeans fight for Ukraine"

Western media: Silence.

Thousands of Americans, Europeans, Japanese, Canadians are flying all the way from their countries to fight for Ukraine against Russia.

Thousands of them. But guess what? The western media buries the story.

Guess the ones that makes it to their headlines? Africans fighting for Russia.

Mind you, there are also lots of Africans fighting for Ukraine as well. But you would never hear of it.

They're just trying to sever the good relationship Russia has with Africa but intelligent people can see through that.

Sadly there are still very dull Africans who believe the Russian government is luring people with fake jobs. Meanwhile the Russian government isn't even aware of such.

Indian recruiters operating from India are exploiting the desperation of Africans and luring them to with non existent job offers.

Job agencies that can be traced to India are luring Africans to Russia so they can get a part of the soldiers sign on fee.

Guess who gets blamed for that? Russia!

White man country can fight a fellow white man country for political and ideological differences. It's allowed, but on no account should an African be recruited to die in a matter that has no concern for us.

Africans are fighting for Ukraine.

Mostly from Kenya, Ivory coast and all the US puppet states in Africa.

Are you in support of Africans fighting and losing their lives in this war, especially when the recruiters deceive them into what they never signed up for?

I'm not in support but poor people would do anything for money.

Poor American & British men are currently fighting for Ukraine because of the pay.

If the Russian Embassy in Abuja today announce that they are recruiting soldiers and paying even less than $1000. I promise you that the roads leading to that embassy will be blocked by traffic before 1 a.m today.

You think a garbage disposal man or a shoe mender who earns less than 40k a month will not jump on the opportunity to earn 1 million monthly? Even if his life isn't guaranteed?

These men risk their lives every day to earn less than $30.

Nigerians are living below poverty line and are willing to sell their soul for money.

Russia is fighting NATO indirectly and Putin is really killing them softly.

Colombians are used to jungle warfare, they are only useful as shock troops in the ice while the Ukrainians sit back as FPV drone operators..

Africans have no business fighting an imperialist war on either side. How is the russia-ukrainian war our headache here in Africa.
How does the war benefit us in anyway, it's not a war of survival for us, we have no business getting involved.

None of the two countries regard blacks as human. I've seen videos where both sides were mocking African fighter calling them monk****y or bab*****n.

Use your head, don't die on top Russian matter. And stop supporting Africans dying for Russia...on top wetin.
I just don't get this madness.

You are not intelligent at all, If I don't want a mercenaries in my war, I would simply reject them, or send them back to their countries. You don't have an iota of what is happening, you are just deluded and emotional in writing junks..
