Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #956 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY October 1, 2024: ‘WAR-WEARY Ukraine’ by ZUMA Partner agency Ukrinform photo-journalist’s Dmytro Smolienko and Vyacheslav Madiyevskyy: Ukraine’s International Legion was born in 2022, a home for foreigners eager to fight Russia, its estimated 4,000 signed up. In 2024, the legion has been depleted by years of harsh reality and high casualty rates. Three days after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a clarion call for ”friends of peace and democracy” to join the fight from abroad. Zelensky’s International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine (ILDU) was born, echoing the International Brigades that fought fascism in the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s. The war with Russia was a magnet for foreign fighters. After 2 bruising years, many are disillusioned or dead. Welcome to ‘WAR-WEARY Ukraine’ .
