US, Columbian and Polish contracted military personnel in Ukraine
Military Watch Magazine – Aug 7, 2026
Ukraine’s military authorities have disclosed the scale of the contributions being made by foreign combatants, with Military Ombudswoman Olga Reshetilova stating that approximately 16,000 foreign volunteers from at least 72 countries are currently engaged in the war effort. According to Reshetilova, nearly 40 percent of foreign volunteers serving with Ukrainian forces are citizens of Latin American countries. Her statements follow years of reports from Western sources that Ukraine is facing a crippling manpower shortage, with years of high-intensity combat and severe casualties eroding its ability to sustain frontline forces.
The reported scale of Latin American participation marks a notable development in the composition of Ukraine’s foreign personnel. While early foreign recruitment efforts attracted significant numbers of European and North American volunteers, later phases of the war have reportedly seen increasing participation from countries where military service can offer significantly higher incomes than available domestically. Russian security agencies have previously highlighted the growing number of Latin American personnel fighting alongside Ukrainian forces, with multiple Russian defence sources having reported in July that the number of Colombian nationals serving alongside the Ukrainian Armed Forces had recently risen significantly.

While the figure cited by Reshetilova appear to refer to foreign contractors, which alongside those from Latin America have included particularly large numbers from Poland, the total likely does not include active-duty personnel deployed in significant numbers by NATO member states. British Deputy Chief of Defence Staff Lieutenant General Robert Magowan of the Royal Marines in December 2022 revealed that the Marines had been carrying out high risk operations alongside Ukrainian government forces from April that year. 300 personnel from the Royal Marines’ 45 Commando Group were revealed to be conducting “discreet operations,” with Magowan stressing that these were carried out “in a hugely sensitive environment and with a high level of political and military risk.”
As early as June 2022 the New York Times reported that a CIA ‘stealth network’ was at the crux of the war, referring to the U.S. as establishing within Ukraine “a stealthy network of commandos and spies rushing to provide weapons, intelligence and training… C.I.A. personnel have continued to operate in the country secretly, mostly in the capital, Kiev, directing much of the massive amounts of intelligence the United States is sharing with Ukrainian forces.” The “signs of their stealthy logistics, training and intelligence support are tangible on the battlefield,” the Times observed. “Commandos from other NATO countries, including Britain, France, Canada and Lithuania, also have been working inside Ukraine… training and advising Ukrainian troops and providing an on-the-ground conduit for weapons and other aid,” it added, stressing the sheer “scale of the secretive effort to assist Ukraine that is underway.”
In January 2024 German Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirmed that British special forces on the ground in Ukraine were supporting launches of Storm Shadow cruise missiles against Russian targets. The British presence on the ground in Ukraine was subsequently more widely acknowledged following the death of one serviceman, Lance Corporal George Hooley of the Parachute Regiment, in December 2025. Both contractor and active duty personnel have played important roles in the Ukrainian war effort, with the roles of contractors varying from basic frontline combat, to operating complex equipment. Russian state sources have referred to European contractors killed in a major strike on their headquarters in January 2024 as “highly trained specialists who work on specific weapons systems too complex for the average Ukrainian conscripts.”

> Ukraine Confirms Reliance on Over 16,000 Foreign Contractors to Fill Ranks as Personnel Crisis Worsens
“Contractors” huh? Like someone building a wall.
I wonder what the death rate is for these “contractors” (mercenaries). Lower than the busified natives, obviously, but still.
I read this BS from the boy buggering corporation that said the russians were losing and pootin was being “squeezed” by the russian citizens over the war, whatever that’s supposed to mean. It completely fails to mention the “war on the ground”, of course, but laughably states “the russian advance has slowed”, thereby contradicting their own “report” that the russians were “losing”. Mind you, the average “bbc” “viewer” probably can’t walk upright without someone there to read them the instruction manual, so I’m not surprised.
They still have to keep the whole thing going for another three years, presumably by going on with the “drones” a la the iran “war”, but they’ll still need to insert other things to ramp it up. Maybe an oreshnik on the drone factory in what used to be britain, but more likely on the one in poland, to begin with…
The war is a combined solution to contemporary problems, one of which is the prospect of a meaningful life, for mostly young men. This is the result of the Machine, stealing occupation from the human race, of which the surplus is at the disposal of the ruling classes.
This fake war was never a “national “ war against a pretend invasion. Ukrainian people are mostly Russian speaking tribal members and are not excited about following their prez, who is not from there and employs mercenaries.
Putin has been very gentle with ukraine as
he views them as his own people and wants them back in the russian fold
this war is rothschilds punishment for dropping communism in the early 90s
the prisons are releasing men early if they sign to fight for ukraine
if you look at the UK today it isa communist stae
in 1936 victor rothschild said
” by the year 2000 Britain will be communist
it may not be called that, but thats what it will be “
Kids In a Tiny British Village Beg The Government Not To Force Illegal Migrants On Their Home
renegade August 8, 2026 5 min
The children of a quiet Oxfordshire village have been forced to put pen to paper and plead with the Prime Minister himself.
Their message is simple and heartbreaking: leave our homes alone.
Piddington is a tiny English settlement of roughly 350 people – around 250 adults and just 46 children. The Home Office and Labour government under Andy Burnham intend to place 1,250 single adult male asylum seekers on a former Ministry of Defence site that borders the village, runs along the back of homes, and sits directly against the parish playing field and children’s park.
If the plan proceeds, the number of young men dumped on their doorstep will dwarf the entire local population.
You WILL NOT BELIEVE What Is Happening In These TINY English Villages
Microcosm for the whole UK
Residents previously held a symbolic independence vote after the government announced the scheme with zero meaningful consultation. Weeks later the silence from Downing Street continues, so the children themselves have now spoken.
Seven-year-old Rex Perkin wrote: “Dear Andy, We like our village because I and my family walk down to my sister’s grave to see her. I worry I won’t be able to do that anymore. My family has lived here for over 100 years. I love the playing field in Piddington because I can go safely there every week. please keep out the migrants Thanks Andy.”
Eleven-year-old Tilly West pleaded: “Please, please, please! This is for the 300-400 people in the village as well as dogs who won’t be able to go sniffing in the bushes as much.”
Nine-year-old Orla West was direct: “I do not like this idea because we love our park. We can walk our dogs. we are so afraid, We love Piddington.”
Ann widdecombe probe extended into attempted burglary at Farage’s home
Story by Lucie Heath
Counter Terrorism Police investigating the death of Ann Widdecombe have reopened an inquiry into an alleged “firebombing” incident at Nigel Farage’s home last year, according to reports.
The investigation is believed to be related to an incident in April 2025, which the Reform UK leader told The Daily Telegraph involved a “lit incendiary device” being posted through the letterbox of his south London home. An investigation into the incident was closed with no arrests made at the time, but the police now say a new line of inquiry has emerged.
Here’s what we know.
What happened at Farage’s home?
Earlier this year Farage said there had been an “arson attempt” made on his house the year previously when he wasn’t at home.
An investigation into the incident was closed with no arrests made at the time, but the police now say a new line of inquiry has emerged.
What happened at Farage’s home?
Earlier this year Farage said there had been an “arson attempt” made on his house the year previously when he wasn’t at home.
“When I came back and opened the door I found the damage. Luckily it had burned itself out in the porch,” he told the paper.
Farage said the police “did their best” but there were “no suspects”. The case was closed with no arrests.
Why is the case being reopened now?
CTP London and the Metropolitan Police said on Friday that it was looking into an “attempted burglary” as part of the investigation into Widdecombe’s alleged murder.
Officers did not confirm the location of the attempted burglary, but the BBC and The Telegraph reported it is in connection to the incident at Farage’s home.
CTP London said it has identified a line of inquiry “which may have been relevant” but was “not identified and pursued by them at the time”.
The police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), is now investigating the “conduct” of a CTP London staff member, following an allegation that the employee “failed to identify and pursue a line of inquiry”.
Heterophobic messages had been sent to Widdicombe Farage and Mrs JK Rowling of Harry Potter fame
Reform’s deputy leader, Richard Tice, said the authorities only recently woken up to the abuse and intimidation” the party’s politicians suffer.
idiots like Boy George saying we should celebrate Ann Widdicombes death show the hate for normal people.
Man charged with Widdecombe’s murder
Widdecombe, 78, died on 8 July after sustaining serious injuries at her home in Devon.
Homosexual Joshua Kerry, 28, was charged with her murder on 20 July and appeared at Westminster magistrates’ court the following day.
He is alleged to have driven nearly 265 miles (426km) from his home in Rotherham to Widdecombe’s home on Dartmoor on the day of the incident.
Westminster magistrates’ court heard that Widdecombe was struck 21 times on the head with a hammer.
it’s currently unclear how the incident at Farage’s home is connected to Widdecombe’s death.
Widdecombe was a spokeswoman for Reform UK, having previously served as a Tory minister under Sir John Major.
Kerry has been remanded in custody. An administrative hearing will take place on 9 October and a further plea and trial preparation hearing on 20 November. A provisional trial date has been set for June 2027.

The New IRA hatches war plot to drive migrants out of Ireland
this time they have all people behind them

The New IRA is planning a violent campaign aimed at driving migrants out of Ireland, intelligence officials have warned.
Security bosses fear the republican group, which succeeded the Real IRA, has been gaining support on both sides of the Irish border.
A huge rise in migrant crime on the island has fuelled local fury – as seen in June, when the stabbing of Stephen Ogilvie, by Sudanese asylum seeker Hadi Alodid, sparked riots in Belfast.
Security sources told the Mail last night that the group, which still pursues a “united Ireland,” is capitalising on these grievances.
There are concerns the campaign could push a fresh wave of migrants from Ireland into the UK, especially across the Northern Irish land border.
The new IRA is doing the job police should be doing, protecting the people not the migrants
A video appeared last week on social media in which an unidentified man issued threats against migrants on behalf of the IRA.
“They will take control, and they will give an ultimatum, not to politicians but to the illegal migrants who are in the country,” he says.
Support from Britain has been almost 100%
