The issue of foreign fighters, or proxy militias have circulated in newspapers and journals since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As we read in newspapers, proxy militias have reached Ukraine and are fighting against Russian and Ukraine s army in different cities. Russia transported Chechen militias and Wagner group into Ukraine. The Ukraine's army all but humiliated the Russian army, and forced its commanders to reconsider the policy of fratricide. There were different perceptions about these militias and their fighting capabilities, but one thing was clear that these militias might be effective in guerrilla war, not in traditional technological war. We know Wagner s operational capabilities in Libya, Syria and Africa, but in Ukraine the militias faced a strong army adorned with modern weapons and technology.
