Yep you’re probably right. It would likely be an even bigger issue for Ukraine if there was more widespread global support for Russia’s cause. If that were the case, they might be able to amass a significant foreign volunteer force to fight against Ukraine.
In my opinion, the relatively small amount of pro-Russian foreign fighters speaks to the weakness of Russia’s argument in favour of the invasion. If it was a genuine crusade to de-nazify Ukraine and free oppressed people, I think there would be a much larger contingent of people going there to fight for Russia.
I see what you’re saying, but I’m not sure that would be the case.
Ukraine is fighting a defensive war against an oppressive invading country and I don’t know (emphasis on I don’t know) that they have more foreign fighters than Russia (mostly North Korea, but also Cuba, Africa, etc.).
I do know Ukraine has some foreign legions(?) with a significant number of Columbians and Iraq/Afghanistan war veterans from multiple countries, along with anti-Putin Russians and Belarusian forces.
Ukraine’s low numbers (my understanding of their numbers) could be due to financial and logistical (training and supplies/equipment) constraints though.
