"Regarding the bringing in of foreign fighters to the 23rd Assault Regiment R.U.G. of the 2nd Khartiia Corps. After my previous post a week ago, a Ukrainian abroad whom I did not know wrote to me asking how much it cost. He then transferred money for the travel of 25 fighters at once, who were waiting for their turn to be sent from Colombia.
The tickets have been purchased, the fighters will soon be in Ukraine, and we will record a video. I hope that one day I will be able to thank this caring person, who did this without even leaving his real name," the commander said.
According to Butusov, since the beginning of the year, the transfer of 500 fighters from Latin America to the 23rd Regiment has been fully funded by volunteers and benefactors thanks to the connections and authority of the Khartiia Corps and the R.U.G. Regiment.
"The fighters are already actively taking part in assault operations. But volunteers’ ability to help is limited. Therefore, we hope that in May, purchases of transfers for fighters to join the 23rd Assault Regiment of the National Guard of Ukraine will begin at the expense of the state budget," he summed up.
Background
