We only have been 2025 for three months but surely the scene of the year in an international code, it has already occurred. Obviously, we talk about the dialectical dispute that took place on February 28 in the Oval Office of the White House between Donald Trump next to JD Vance Front Volodimir Zelenski.
From that moment on, which marked a before and after for everyone in the framework of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, a phenomenon that has caught the attention of analysts and war experts has been detected.
And, since that day, the number of foreign volunteers who has requested to join the Ukraine Defense Forces has increased considerably, as reported Kyiv Independent on its website.
All this is verifiable if you look at the number of foreign volunteers who have already signed binding contracts to the Ukrainian army. One of the recruiters of one of the elite units of the Ukraine Defense Forces, the number of applications has increased by thousands after the images that occurred in the White House.
However, for many volunteers, the angry dispute of the Oval Office was only the drop that filled the glass, since many of them were willing to enlist to go to the front or help Ukraine in any way when considering that the invaded country needs personnel and armament to defend themselves from the Russian troops.
Therefore, they consider that although that moment was a turning point, for many, others consider it as the necessary ‘push’ to take the step. Many of them are American ex -military, which on some occasions, already made clear their desire to join the International Legion of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian media spoke with a 25 -year -old gunner and the US war veteran who went to Ukraine later: “It is frustrating to sit without doing anything when you know you can do something well,” said William.
Another veteran of the American Army of Colorado, who was present in Afghanistan, also exposed his point of view and was eager to join the Ukraine Defense Forces, and stressed that he is disappointed with US policy with respect to Ukraine.
“It is a real shame. I can no longer stay with crossed arms, especially when the Ukrainian people are so brave and are doing an excellent job with the limited team that we have provided them,” were his words to Kyiv Independent.
