Quote: "Colombians in the ranks of the 47th Separate Mechanised Brigade. The project to bring foreign volunteers into the 47th Magura Separate Mechanised Brigade is constantly expanding. Under government programmes, they can quickly join the Armed Forces of Ukraine."

Details: The Ukrainian military said that all recruits in the 47th Brigade are trained from scratch – combat coordination and live fire, dismounting from M113 armoured personnel carriers, and trench clearing.

Quote: "And while these Colombian recruits undergo training on the ranges, their more experienced compatriots are driving the occupiers back from Ukrainian land in Sumy Oblast."

Background:
