So, to compensate for the lack of soldiers, the Ukrainian government resorted to paramilitary militias. They are essentially composed of foreign mercenaries, often extreme right-wing militants. In 2020, they constituted about 40 percent of the Ukrainian forces and numbered about 102,000 men, according to Reuters. They were armed, financed and trained by the United States, Great Britain, Canada and France. There were more than 19 nationalities—including Swiss.

Western countries have thus clearly created and supported Ukrainian far-right militias.

The text is not very well written (could be a translation), but goes over many events usually ignored in the media. Lots of first hand stuff.

US and UK military experts train Ukrainians. Another 5000 foreign volunteers reportedly on their way to fight for Ukraine. The Big War may sneak up on us unannounced.
