On March 3 local time, Ukrainian President Zelensky said Ukraine is preparing to welcome the first batch of "international volunteer soldiers", saying that the first batch of 16,000 "international volunteer soldiers" are heading to Ukraine. Although media from all sides reported that Ukraine is recruiting volunteer soldiers globally, for example, 50 retired Self-Defense Force members were recruited in Japan and 300 volunteers in the UK, it is difficult to believe that 16,000 volunteers entered Ukraine to fight. It is highly likely that Zelensky was bragging. The editor believes that there are three reasons:
1. Ukraine recruits international volunteer soldiers only its own wishful thinking, and none of the United States, Europe and other Western countries have supported it. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, under Russia's nuclear deterrence, Western countries led by the United States clearly did not send troops into Ukraine to fight. At the beginning, they didn't even dare to say military aid, and Ukraine once entered despair. Later, with Russia's weak offensive in Ukraine, Germany and other countries began to announce their provision of military assistance to Ukraine, such as air defense missiles, anti-tank missiles, , and even fighter . Subsequently, President Russia Putin ordered Russian strategic forces to enter a "special combat readiness state" and issued a clear nuclear deterrence to the United States, Europe and other countries. Until today, no media reported that Ukraine received military assistance from the United States, Europe and other countries, indicating that the United States and Europe do not want to anger Russia. Therefore, after Zelensky announced that Ukraine had established an international volunteer army, no Western country expressed support, and no Western country mobilized its own citizens to enter Ukraine to fight.

On the contrary, Britain, France and other countries have also made various obstructions. For example, the former British Justice Minister warned that volunteers who went to Ukraine's conflict areas may be prosecuted after returning to China; the Japanese government recently called on citizens not to enlist in Ukraine, and Japanese lawyers pointed out that going to Ukraine privately may violate the criminal law; The US State Department issued the latest statement warning Ukraine not to go to Ukraine, and American citizens in Ukraine should also evacuate immediately; France arrested 14 Ukrainian soldiers from the foreign corps on the grounds that it contained materials that might participate in the war. Against this background, the editor would like to ask Zelensky where the 16,000 international volunteer soldiers came from?
Second, 16,000 international volunteer soldiers only existed in Zelensky's mouth. No country in the world discovered it, and no media reported it. cannot be denied that there must be foreign volunteers joining the Ukrainian battle at present. For example, 10 retired special forces soldiers announced to enter Ukraine on February 27, including 6 people in the United States, 3 people in the United Kingdom, and 1 person in the Empire. Russia also announced that international volunteer soldiers entering Ukraine would not enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war, indicating that Russia did discover international volunteer soldiers. However, a 16,000-man army is basically at the level of an army, and even people and equipment will occupy a very large camp, and it is impossible to gather anywhere to be absolutely confidential.

If it does exist, it will be easily discovered by the international community, but no country has discovered it, and no media has reported it. Even if Western countries deliberately do not say it out of confidentiality, it is very easy to discover it with Russia's current satellite reconnaissance capabilities, but Russia has not said that there is such an international volunteer army, and the Russian media has not reported it. If Russia had discovered such an international volunteer army, due to its diplomatic characteristics, it would have long been in its current state of silence. Therefore, the editor believes that 16,000 international volunteer soldiers only exist in Zelensky's mouth, but do not exist in reality.
Third, there is no response to the support of the national forces, and it is impossible to assemble a team of 16,000 people. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, the assembly and management of the army are a very complicated task, and no civil organization can do it. At present, no country has announced support for sending international volunteer soldiers to Ukraine, which means that all international volunteer soldiers entering Ukraine enter in their personal names, and they do not receive support from any country from equipment to supplies, and there is no organization to manage it.If a 16,000-man army does not have unified equipment, logistics supply and unified command, how can it be gathered spontaneously? The fuel supply of guns, ammunition, vehicles alone is not affordable by any civil organizations, and Ukraine obviously does not have this ability. If you have this ability, wouldn’t it be better to directly arm 16,000 people in your country?
