This seems a bit strange.
Starts off saying that there's no equipment or "kits" to be had for foreign volunteers
Then spends the remainder of the video describing how they hid their "kits" and disguised themselves as Red Cross to leave the country.
Also that Twitter account you linked is erratic as hell. Probably not a Russian propagandist, but out of their minds strange nonetheless.

It may be real, may be propaganda, we just have have to go through a fine tooth comb and take anything we hear with a grain of salt.

He looks and acts exactly like I suspect the majority of foreign volunteers do. Basically a bunch of airsof weekend warriors and pogs who think they know more than they do. The idea that thousands of highly trained special operations guys are showing up in large numbers is just retarded. I’m sure there are some but the majority are smart enough that going to Ukraine to fight the Russians is a really fast way to die.

They have been upfront about bringing your own gear. If they had any surplus they gave to civilians.
Just me but I wouldnt want a Ukrainian (or Russian) helmet or plates anyway.

Here is a list of people included in Russia’s “stop list”:
-US President Joe Biden
-Secretary of State Antony Blinken
-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin
-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley
-National security adviser Jacob Sullivan
-CIA Director William Burns
-White House press secretary Jen Psaki
-Daleep Singh, Biden's deputy national security adviser for international economics
-United States Agency for International Development Administrator Samantha Power
-President Biden's son Hunter Biden
-Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
-Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo
-Reta Jo Lewis, president and chairman of the board of directors of the Export-Import Bank
Right or wrong, Trump's absence with Hillary's inclusion will stoke some political discord domestically.
ETA: Which might be why they did it like that to begin with

Eh, anything they can do to tug at the heart strings of the west, they'll do. They need NATO involvement as much as possible so any and all options are on the table.
A great way to lose major support from NATO would be for Ukraine to get caught murdering western journalists and trying to pin it on Russia.
Not sure they'd want to risk that.

An American trapped and fighting in Ukraine’s message to foreigners wanting to come and fight: Don’t fricking Go.
Definite good watch.
His story definitely jives with the Redditor that joined the Foreign Legion and got the frick out after the missile attack on the barracks.

Yes, I was here today and blown off the top bunk of my bunk bed in the barracks by the first missile. I made a long post about it but my posts don't show on this thread for some reason. This is where all the foreign legion troops are, the 35 killed were all Ukrainian mostly due to a direct hit on their barracks next to mine. The base is destroyed, the weapons depot destroyed, possibly the end of the legion. About 60 people with their heads on straight including myself left after the attack. They're sending untrained guys to the front with little ammo and shite AKs and they're getting killed. The guys who stayed got bombed again in the afternoon and casualties aren't clear. If you still want to to join them I'm not sure what the process will be since literally all the infrastructure supporting the training/assignments of volunteers is all destroyed. The guys who are there now will all be going to Kviv and many will die, the legion is totally outgunned and has a few crazy Ukrainian leaders. After the attack one officer wanted to march everyone to Kviv and fight. Absolute insanity. Stay home.

Dude I deleted all my posts because I didn't go to Ukraine for the clout. I asked the right questions, deleted my posts, actually bought a plane ticket and brought my arse over. I said in another comment that yes it was 35 Ukrainians killed because their barracks got directly hit. The 180 bullshite is real Russian propaganda. If you think I'm a Russian agent you're just in denial that the situation is absolutely fricked. Go ahead and join the legion, by all means, but be very aware of how bad Kyiv is going to get and be aware that Russians have warplanes and you will have next to nothing. Be very acceptant of the possibility of death. Those of us who left, including SF operators from multiple countries, are simply risk mitigating. No one wants to die in an unfair fight, and after getting absolutely fricking pummeled by massive cruise missiles today - yeah I kind of want people to think twice before turning their life upside down to go and volunteer.

I think that guy is probably exaggerating. He just saw his barracks blown up by Russian missiles and a bunch of dead people and had a change of heart.
No chance in hell the Ukrainians are sending foreign volunteers to the front lines in Kyiv with no weapons or ten bullets. You get your AK when you get to Kyiv or whatever front they send you to. Imagine the backlash from nations giving the Ukes military hardware and support when they find out their citizens are being sent to the front with no rifle...I mean that's a great way to lose the support you desperately need to hold the Russians at bay as long as possible.
That guy made it sou d like he was treated like a Soviet conscript in WW2 and the infamous "not one step backwards" order that Stalin put out.

Sure they would. Not with approval from higher command of course. Just like the Russians would probably shoot a journalist if they thought the journalist was giving away their position.
