(1) Welcome to the WTF "The Grand Western Alliance of BRAVE mercenaries from the West" Special Edition #RaamWTF

It took only 18 hrs for this French dude who went to Ukraine as a foreign mercenary to escape fm Lviv to Sweden without packing his personal

facebook.com/mickael.sciacca
(2) belongings, after their training ground was hit by Russian forces on Monday

Meet Jake Priday, British teacher from Cardiff, aged 25, 6’3” in height, whose Ukrainian adventure lasted 9 hrs - he's been in the British army for 6 years in Estonia, Kenya & Iraqi Kurdistan, where
(3) he helped train local militias in 2017 - his goal was to give Ukrainians basic medical training

he was packed with a bunch of other heroes-in-waiting, incl a Belarusian anarchist & a Bulgarian bouncer & neo-Nazi from London: “My plan is to kill as many Russians as I can”
(4) Jake thought he might be sent to a refugee camp to help the wounded & teach basic first aid, BUT co-ordinators explained that volunteers were expected to fight ON THE FRONTLINE after 5-7 days’ training
(5) details of the 5-7 days' training
(6) Signs emerged that they could be toast as soon as a contract was pulled out after the 1st breakfast - they were told to sign a contract stipulating that they would be paid US$230 a month & would have to remain in the Ukrainian foreign legion for the duration of the war
(7) PLUS: the most disturbing clause of the contract: they would be put under the same obligations as all Ukrainian men: under martial law declared by Zelensky on 24/2/2022 - no man aged 18-60 is allowed to leave, which means people might lose their jobs or houses in the West
(8) the contract also binds volunteers to serve for "an indefinite length of time" - none of these volunteers interviewed had been told about these terms before they crossed into Ukraine - in practice, those who no longer wished to fight could apply for a discharge & between 20
(9) & 30 volunteers have already been allowed to leave after signing on - the Ukrainian ministry of defence denied that the contract requires volunteers to sign on indefinitely but refused to share a copy

Jake ended up persuading 20 other volunteers not to sign
(10) Jake's dream of a war hero was shattered as once he refused to sign, he was immediately asked to leave the barracks
(11) a 21-year-old from Britain with no military experience who has been working dead-end jobs for years flew to Poland without telling his parents - Jake felt like the man was signing his “death warrant” but this youngster did leave Ukraine afterwards
(12) Yet Western 'volunteers" are still flocking to fight in Ukraine: French foreign legionnaires, Baltic ex-servicemen & American gun-nuts

a bulked-up former pilot from Louisiana who did 4 tours in Afghanistan sold his pick-up truck to fund his trip: “I’m just here to shoot”
(13) others: Balkan fighters in cargo pants; German hipsters-turned-gonzo humanitarians; Mormons from Utah, & a middle-aged Norwegian woman determined to ease the burden on Ukrainian mothers & take up a Kalashnikov "in the spirit of solidarity"
(14) another: a a Lithuanian volunteer seasoned in anti-tank warfare with a tattoo of a crusader on horseback across his chest

(21) Also Meet Ben Spann from Warwickshire in the UK, aged 36, who did not tell his wife or teenage son that he was going to Ukraine although he has never served in the military
(22) Ben spent 5 days in a "safe house" with 4 ex-British soldiers, & had a gun pointed at his head after the house was searched by a "Ukrainian SWAT team"

Ben, who runs an anti-knife crime charity & has grown cannabis, admits his Ukraine adventure was "an absolute nightmare"
(23) Ben was not impressed with the safe house.... calling it "a crack den in England", & didn't appreciate the 10 members of a Ukrainian SWAT team pointing AK-47s at their head in the safe house
(24) Ben's son was doubting whether he even cared about him, why he was doing this

he ended up travelling back to the Polish border where hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees have fled to

(26) Hey yo, but Ben would still go back one day - that's "probably the ego side of him"
