I saw children killed, women raped. My grandma, a Finnish war refugee whose village Russians destroyed, cried seeing Ukrainian refugee kids. My Spanish roots fought communists in the Civil War. This war is deeply personal to me — Kyiv Independent with Azov foreigners. 1/

Azov values life. If one is wounded, whole brigade fires, EW jams drones, infantry sprints from trenches to help, carries him. They risk death for us on our first mission, just for Azov name. Such brotherhood, I think, can’t be found anywhere else. 2/

I saw bad things and heard stories of what Russian soldiers do to civilians in eastern Ukraine. Life back home was boring — job, music, painting. Came from Kyiv with friend who wanted drones. Assault was scary, so I thought I could be a really good drone pilot. 3/

My motivation is 3 things. 1) Reaction to injustice — what’s happening is wrong, I want to help stop it. 2) I want to be a soldier. 3) Belief in Ukraine’s right to exist as an independent, democratic state. I’d call that ideological. 4/

I came in March 2022, joined the International Legion for 3 years. When Azov took foreigners, I went. Many of the best were killed early, making others go home. I lost close friends who became family. The best way to honor them was to hang tough and keep going. 5Х

@Mylovanov If you support a jew you're an adversary Zelensky jew You are adversary

@Mylovanov All wars are tragic. Ukraine gambled and lost. Now they must negotiate for peace or pay the price. American people are fed up financing foreign wars. There will be very little if any help from the US. It's time to sue for peace.

@Mylovanov Ukraine should not have started the War. We know the TRUTH about Crimea, so you really have nothing- and because that choice was made, now you have even less of EVERYTHING. Such is your fate. Your tiny dictator of death will be removed this year.

@Mylovanov Ukraine used to be part of Russia

@Mylovanov Garbage article

@Mylovanov Not yet dead men bloviating about "lofty causes". Only serves the elites.

@Mylovanov Proof?? Trust me bro. Stfu simps

@Mylovanov war is always a dirty crime and should be stopped in general for the sake of humanity and every children out there

@Mylovanov lol, his grandad fought with fascists and now so does he.

@Mylovanov This is Jewish/Mossad propaganda. I hope Putin doesn’t negotiate, overruns that corrupt den of vipers you call a country, and the Spetsnaz pays a visit to Zelinsky Z 🇷🇺

@Mylovanov War is Brutal, it kills one generation and impacts many to come .

@Mylovanov I just don’t care, America

@Mylovanov what were you Ukrainian mercenaries doing in Bosnia you filthy dog!

@Mylovanov Both sides fighting in the Spanish civil war were horrible to each other. There's nothing to be proud of here.

@Mylovanov Your "Spanish roots" should also remind you about 700 years of wars and inquisitions. Perhaps the most disgusting, the Requerimiento, which was presented to tribes in various countries Spain invaded. Read to the natives in Spanish, of course, which they didn't understand - It

@Mylovanov for every story a Ukranian can tell like this a Russian can say the same thing so its hard to feel bad...This is just war.

@Mylovanov The communists are the ones controlling the EU…

@Mylovanov Spanish Fascists were right, but this guy is retarded.

@Mylovanov How are bribes now?!

@Mylovanov ummmmmmmmm So his Spanish family were fascists?

@Mylovanov Woah, the Ruzzian trolls are out in force in the comments section! All full of self pity and bullshit. One is even bitching about the Finns for some reason! Complaining that Finland had camps for orc POWs, seemingly forgetting it was the Ruzzians who tried to invade Finland.

@Mylovanov He can't shoot worth a shit.

@Mylovanov which is why zelenski needs to negotiate. not block progress

@Mylovanov and people think politicians can just shake hands make a deal and this will all be over

@Mylovanov Too bad you're not Polish because then you would know the NAZIs you are fighting for.

@Mylovanov Hey, you forgot to mention the concentration camps for Soviet civilians created by the Finns! You also forgot to mention how Finland coordinated a total blockade of Leningrad, as a result of which 1.6 million civilians, including 400,000 children, died of hunger. But we

@Mylovanov We all know who Soviet Union fought during WW2. This did not change. Azov =Nazi.

@Mylovanov All mercenaries deserve to die.

@Mylovanov Just remain a neutral country and don’t join NATO and don’t bomb your own country’s eastern region.

@Mylovanov The writer who penned this script should be shown the door, or we need a fresh voice actor to inject some soul! The story’s as dull as dishwater, the emotion’s nonexistent, and this scene’s a total trainwreck! Cut! Back to square one. If we don’t fix this, our blockbuster’s DOA!

@Mylovanov Paid actor

@Mylovanov Congratulations, this is officially the biggest horse shit western propaganda thread in the history of the war.
