The curator of the exhibition in the museum Yuri Gorpinich said that several thousand Americans served on the side of Ukraine.
Some volunteers come from the United States to fight for freedom, others are fighting for a chance for a military career, some want to earn money, there are those who run away from the law, said the Ukrainian platoon commander of the international contingent, including American military, senior lieutenant Nikolai Lavrenyuk.
He noted that some American volunteers quickly leave after staying at the front and declare that they want to work in logistics.
However, Lavrenyuk emphasized that the Americans are appreciated at the front, because they are better trained than the military from other countries.
The newspaper writes that the US government is trying to avoid a direct clash with Russia and almost does not help volunteers. The American non -profit organization RT Weatherman is engaged in the return of the remains of the dead and tracking the missing.
