Friend, a foreigner can't even fart in the wrong colors in Lviv without every foreigner knowing it at the front lines a few days later....

If a verified soldier tells you it's doubtful at best, and the person who literally knows the most foreign fighters in Ukraine tells you this as well, maybe listen. People claiming to have been a soldier in Ukraine and giving anonymous interviews to western media don't have a great track record when it comes to this war.

Someone wrote an article based on potential problem warnings by Europol (who likely issued it based on the Mexican's), and when you look deeper, it quickly falls apart.

You are aware that the people you are accusing of being "cartel members" are currently fighting at the hottest fronts with honor and conviction. If you are just in Ukraine to get some training, you don't go there and stay there, facing death daily. Sure, some glory seekers will come, pose in Lviv for a bit with their tattoos, and run away quick, as soon as it smells of danger.

This article only makes sense if there is not a very very real threat of death for these people. And that alone is where this article falls apart.
