Ukraine is a magnet for fraudsters

Apparently when you extend an open invitation to foreigners to form a military unit, a whole bunch of fraudsters, blowhards and nut-jobs are gonna show up. Who would've guessed?

After this war there will be people who claimed they fought but were denied the Ukie perks promised.

In the Balkans even during the fighting there was an influx of Italians claiming to have come across hard times fighting for "Dalmatia" and they could be found in the Sofia train station hitting up those going from Prague to Istanbul for cash so they could get back to fight.

Edirne Turkey was filled with loser Turks trying to go to "Sarajevobosnia" and they too just needed a bit of cash to save the world.

Anyway, it seems the Ukranians are getting smart so I assume the loser brigades are going to either be fragged or fodder soon.

I wonder where the fake warriors are hanging out? I bet the beaches of Bulgaria and Romania will be filled with pink roasted Brits waiting to hit up other visitors for Lei and Leva
