Big twist in Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict as Russia steps in; why is Putin feeling threatened?

It has been three years since the Russia-Ukraine war and the Ukrainian army is proud not only of its soldiers but also of the external fighters who are fighting against Russia on its behalf. These external fighters are a bigger headache for Putin than the Ukrainian army. It is also being claimed that these fighters are killing about 1200 Russian soldiers every day.

In fact, when Russia attacked Ukraine in the year 2022, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed to people around the world for help. After his emotional appeal, thousands of foreign fighters arrived to protect Ukraine. Some of them were experienced, while some joined only out of enthusiasm and passion without any military training.

The number of these soldiers ranges from 4 thousand to 20 thousand. It was not easy for the Ukrainian army to suddenly include such a large number of foreign fighters. Initially, the army did not have the right training and organizational structure for them. But then with time Ukraine made these fighters an important part of its strategy. Especially those foreign soldiers who understood Western weapons well and were skilled in war medicine.

Among these foreign fighters, there were some who proved their ability on the battlefield and became trusted by the Ukrainian army. They not only stood firm on the front, but also adopted the Ukrainian language and culture. Such fighters were called real heroes there.

Who became a burden for Ukraine?

However, not every foreign fighter proved beneficial for Ukraine. Some people reached there without any experience, just in search of adventure. There were some who came to Ukraine to escape the problems of their country or to prove themselves. Initially, due to them, the location of the Ukrainian army was leaked many times, which benefited Russia.

In addition, there were some people who roamed around wearing military uniforms without being part of the Ukrainian army. These people were seen in cafes and hotels in safe cities, but remained miles away from the actual war zone.
