Rybar team publishes a list of foreign mercenaries in the ranks of the “International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine”

Does it look legit? Any know names that can be cross referenced?

    I looked up the name of someone from my country and I found a news article from early march where it confirmed that he went to fight in Ukraine. Couldn’t be bothered to do more research, but at least it shows some of the names are legit.

    Don’t think everyone on this list is a member of a foreign legion. I googled some names from my country and it showed some journalists as well.

      Thank you for checking out some names. Was the journalists currently in Ukraine? And you wrote ‘as well’, were the other names mercenaries or just no information about them?

        Yes the journalist is indeed in Ukraine. Tried to look up some names and I managed to track some down I think. Nothing crazy, just normal people posting stuff on Ukraine. But no people boasting about going and stuff.

          The list does seem to be recent though. There have been stories of people returning from Ukraine because, apparently, war is scary and their names don’t seem to be on them.

      unlikely to be combatants themselves… more propagandists for the western newspapers and as such in their telephone contacts. Enzinger himself is with the newspaper since 2002, i very much doubt that he is a combatant, just a little paper jockey who wanted to do something “cool” or idk…

    I know one of the war tourists as he was one class above me in uni, but could not find his name on the list.
