The BBC reports that 20,000 foreigners are in Ukraine to help the country fight Russia.

 

They go to war for a variety of reasons. Some told the BBC some of them were even fighting for Taiwan.

 

"I'm here to fight for independence and liberation," said one. "We fight for democracy in the world. We oppose the oppressors of the poor," he said.

 

There are those who have already killed and even 2 of these troops are from the UK. These fearless soldiers continue to face Russia.

 

The BBC reports that all the soldiers have signed a memorandum of understanding.

 

Daile McGee has been in Ukraine for months and even before he was 4 years in the British Army.

 

"I was working with my father before I said goodbye and I told him, 'Dad, I'm leaving,'" he said.

 

"On my own, I came to the rescue. If I died like that, there would be nothing else," he continued.

 

The new fighters are given new instructions and are aware that the day may be the last but that they are ready to move on to the end.

 

Ukrainian troops in the eastern city of Severodonetsk have been told to leave, according to the region's top official.

 

The city has been the focus of Russia's attacks on Ukraine, as it seeks to seize large parts of eastern Ukraine.

 

Serhiy Haidai, the Luhansk regional governor, said: "Staying in the barracks for months is considered a constant."

 

Russian troops have stepped up their operations in recent days and have cordoned off the entire city, including the neighboring city of Lysychansk.

 

The Russian offensive in Ukraine - which began on February 24 this year - has been focusing on Severodonetsk and the neighboring city of Lysychansk for weeks.

 

These cities are the last remaining Ukrainian military bases in the Luhansk region, one of the two eastern parts of the Donbas region.

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied the allegations in a statement issued Friday stating "Similar, baseless allegations concerning Russia's intelligence have been made more than once.

 

On Thursday, Russian troops occupied another territory south of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, raising fears that Ukrainian troops would soon be besieged in the area.
