American Volunteers: Motivations Behind Their Fight in Ukraine
An exploration of why an increasing number of Americans are choosing to volunteer and fight in Ukraine, driven by compelling personal and ideological reasons.
About this video
Imagine a call to action so powerful, it makes you abandon everything you know. For a growing number of Americans, that call led them straight to Ukraine. We sit down with two former U.S. Marines fighting in Ukraine inside an Azov safe house near the zero line. In this raw, unfiltered interview, Uno and TJ explain why they volunteered, what they’ve seen on the front, and why they’re still in the fight after years of war.
This is one of the rare times U.S. fighters on Ukraine’s front line have spoken on camera to independent journalists. They describe civilian attacks, sacrifices made, and what keeps them holding the line against Russia.
📍 Location: Azov Safe House, Eastern Ukraine
