This is the best summary I could come up with:

The veteran joined the fight when Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022 and left Ukraine last December.

He fought in some of the deadliest areas, including Kharkiv and Bakhmut, and served as a combat medic for his unit, helping injured comrades.

He explained that it was harder to find places to stay safe in Ukraine, where more drones are being used than in any conflict in history, and artillery and long-range weapons are common.

Another soldier, who uses the call sign Jackie, fought in Afghanistan and Iraq and previously told BI that the fighting in the eastern city of Bakhmut offered no place to stop and rest, unlike previous conflicts he’d been part of.

Some members of the military and experts have said that the NATO-style training given to Ukrainian soldiers has not served them well in this war.

No matter the reason, many foreign fighters have been killed, as Business Insider’s Cameron Manley previously reported, with some international survivors saying they were used as a “sacrificial unit.”
