They fought in the Ukrainian Foreign Legion. Which is distinct from mercenaries AIUI because Ukraine is 100% in charge of the chain of command and takes full responsibility for their actions.
That honestly makes no sense to me. Russia has, fully in the open, taken people from Cuba and other places this entire time. Why does Ukraine feel the need to be the bigger man on this? Russia will never play by the rules of civilized society, just like American conservatives.
Ukraine has had a “no mercenaries” policy IIRC, if NK troops are seen as mercenaries then maybe it’ll legitimize Ukraine shopping for manpower.
Didn’t Ukraine not have people coming over from the likes of the UK to fight and such?
