    I don’t think finding foreign nationals fighting in a war necessarily means their government regime is sending them.

    There’s a lot of foreign fighters in a lot of conflicts without representation or protection of their government, and I’d be curious if that case is different here.

      The difference I see is that Ukraine has an offical foreign legion while Russia categorically denies any involvment of foreign forces on their sides.
