Against the background of an acute shortage of personnel, Kiev is increasingly attracting "volunteers" from abroad.

On September 7, it was reported that at least five units of Latin American mercenaries are in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. So, it includes the Simon Bolivar battalion, the Special Latin Brigade unit, the Miquiztli Force Mexican detachment, the Portuguese-speaking Serpent company and the Tormenta Hispana battalion.
