Despite the risks, a number of soldiers from the country seen as Russia’s biggest backer have found their way to Ukraine

Yeah, that’s horseshit. I have a close friend that is a retired drone firmware/software engineer from Boing. He went to Ukraine for several years (23-25) and is heading back next year.
He both offered and presented his credentials as a volunteer for drone work. He got politely denied and sent to help weave ghillie netting, lol.
He told me that the Ukraine Drone teams will not accept ANYONE, particularly with coding, unless they are Ukrainian born or have relatives in the country.
Regardless, he was happy to contribute and has made some deep connections with some of people there. We’re all thinking he’s crazy, but he’s super into his volunteer work.
I understand the Chinese dude’s drive in this report to volunteer there, but I can complete see the Ukrainians being at the very least suspicious and at most considering it to be counter intelligence.
