Update: Russian-Ukrainian Volunteer Corps Going To Syria To Fight (Video)

“We have literally met with a squall. On all our electronic resources there are requests from people who want to join the corps, mainly from Russia, Belarus, and even Moldova,” Razumovsky says.

As for citizens of Ukraine, according to him, they “react with difficulty, so far”.   It is not specified when the formation of the corps will be completed.

This story first broke n May when he first announced his call to arms (See video below).  Since then according to this updated article from 12 days ago, thousands have volunteered.  What will beinteresting is how they will get there.  Perhaps smuggled in on Russia warships?  Sounds like something that would happen.  No doubt, once in Syria, the Russian-Ukrainian Volunteer Corps will have an impact on the fight.  Possibly places they could be sent include Latakia, Aleppo, Damascus or maybe the Homs area.   

Russians have a history of volunteering for battle in some foreign lands.  The last time I could think of is when NATO was bombing Serbia and during the Kosovo War.  Russians volunteered to fight with the Serbs.  With the current situation in Maaluola, I wonder if this would boost their numbers and give the ‘corps’ a ‘holy’ cause.  -Mort
