Ukraine’s Military Says South Korean Volunteers Deployed to Frontline Units
|It seems there was enough South Korean volunteers that joined the Ukrainian military to warrant putting out a press release on their status:
Some volunteer soldiers from South Korea were deployed in Ukrainian front-line units fighting against Russia, an official from Ukraine’s military has said.
Damien Magrou, a spokesperson for the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine, confirmed the activities of South Koreans during a recent interview with Yonhap News Agency.
Ukraine has claimed that it established the Ukrainian foreign legion on Feb. 27, days after Russia’s invasion, and over 20,000 people from 52 countries have joined the brigade-level unit.
