The Freedom of Russia Legion and two other units made up of Russian nationals have joined the fight in Ukraine against Putin's invasion.
Peeking out from under a hat and with his face covered, the Russian fighting for Kyiv described unrelenting battles in the northeastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv where Moscow's forces opened a new front last week. 'The situation is difficult, the intensity is very high, there is fighting almost every ten minutes,' said the mortarman, who identified himself only by his callsign, Winnie.
