Ukraine's 20,000 "Foreign Legions", under the long-range firepower of the Russian army, have been scattered, and some mercenaries have bluntly said that to go to Ukraine is to go to "hell". However, there are also some fans who are confident and have to join in the fun. Recently, a retired soldier in Taiwan Province of China was ready to "support Ukraine", and in order to "participate in the war", the man even purchased equipment at his own expense.

According to media reports, the man's surname is Chen, he was originally in charge of communications work in the "Army" on the island, he recently spent NT$50,000 to buy body armor and other equipment, and claimed to go to the Ukrainian front to "participate in the war". The man had already gone to the airport and was ready to fly from there to the Czech Republic in Europe, after which he would consider entering Ukraine via the rail channel, he had been away from home for many years, so he did not have to think about his family, this time he saw a message on the Ukrainian mercenary recruitment website, he threatened that "Russia is too much" and therefore "do something".

In fact, before him, a young man surnamed Yao had already traveled to Ukraine, but he stressed that he was only going to send something to play with the selfie, not to go forward. In contrast, the young man surnamed Chen seems to be more radical. However, in the eyes of netizens, he is under-packed, and some netizens said that it is necessary to let the Russian army "educate" well. It is said that the Russian army has just recently airstried targets such as the Yavorov military training ground near the Polish border and announced the annihilation of 180 mercenaries. Russia has clearly warned that mercenaries will not be equipped with prisoner-of-war status and will be the target of russian forces. Therefore, these two Taiwanese men went at this time to hit the muzzle of the gun.

Moreover, according to the previous accounts of some Western mercenaries, the recruitment of mercenaries in Ukraine is completely a big pit, and the retired American soldier Hofter warned others not to come, saying that once they arrived in Ukraine, they would lose their personal freedom, would be forcibly "escorted" to Kiev, and then went to the battlefield, and could not receive weapons. Mercenaries discovered that the Ukrainians wanted them to go to the front line as cannon fodder, so they chose to flee.

Others revealed that Ukraine treated the mercenaries like fools, they had to sign contracts and receive a monthly salary of more than two hundred dollars, but the "service period" was indefinite, even if as long as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict continued, these people would not want to leave. After witnessing russians bombing mercenary training grounds in western Ukraine, mercenaries from all over the world have fled.

Therefore, the rational approach is not to go, it will only add to the chaos, and it will not be good for yourself. I don't know why the two Taiwanese men thought of going, and they themselves didn't figure out what awaited them. If there is really any trouble at that time, I am afraid that they will regret it too late.
