Chronicles of "cannon fodder" for Ukraine No. 1: Brazilian mercenaries in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
A week ago, the team of Rybar and friendly channels began systematically tracking the movements of foreign mercenaries going in search of adventures in Ukraine. All publications are published on our channel under the tag #mercenaries. But since there are a lot of messages, we decided to collect small thematic digests by country. This will make it easier to track foreigners.
The Brazilian media talked about 15 Brazilians who wished to join the ranks of the "International Legion of Ukraine". The total number of Brazilian citizens who joined thematic communities and publicly expressed a desire to start fighting for Independence, by the end of March 10,
reached half a thousand people .

An organization was found in
Brazil itself , which recruited mercenaries and tried to raise money to send them to Poland. After the Stories from the favelas @favelasemus highlighted the activities of its administrator Irina Normi, who spread fakes about the
Russian military,
the creators of the organization suspended Normie from broadcasting and stated that they would deal exclusively with humanitarian issues.
This does not mean that the sending of mercenaries will stop: the format itself is simply changing. Now, under the guise of medical staff and humanitarian workers, dozens of people who want to join the "International Legion of Ukraine" continue to be sent to Ukraine from all over the world.
As for Brazil, the retired Senora Normi managed to advertise
a new detachment of mercenaries Maned Wolf : the creators promise to recruit former military personnel and go to Ukraine. There are also
freaks,
singles , who beg for money for the whole country in order to get to Lviv themselves, where they can sign a lucrative contract.
Of those who have already managed to go to the combat zone in Ukraine, we managed to identify eight:

Three (
Jefferson Kleidian ,
Andre Hack and
Andre Kirvaitis ) - former soldiers of the Brazilian army and soldiers of the French Foreign Legion who arrived in Ukraine from France.

Three more (
Andre Rossi ,
Christopher Mitiel and
J.Gomez ) — people without military experience who barely had time to complete training at the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security at the Yavorovsky training ground.

The remaining two are
Gabriel Santos and
Landerson Paulinho - former military men who came from Brazil and Portugal.

The current status of Brazilians is as follows:
Five (Rossi, Kleidian, Mitiel, Santos and Gomez) laid down their weapons and fled to Poland immediately after the destruction of the center at the Yavorovsky training ground. Now they only continue to post Ukrainian propaganda on their accounts.

Three (Hak, Kirvaitis and Paulinho), according to them, joined the "special squad" and
are participating in hostilities near Kiev. Their group allegedly destroyed 2 Russian armored personnel carriers and 1 tank during a 20-hour battle, but none of the bloggers provided evidence. Basically, the trio is busy promoting their Instagram and Tik-Tok accounts.
