More than 3,000 US citizens have applied to fight in Ukraine

From Military Times:

Volunteer fighters arrive in Ukraine. But the untrained should stay home

Several hundred volunteers willing to fight Russians alongside Ukrainian forces have already arrived in that embattled nation, according to a government official there.

A defense official at the Ukrainian embassy in Washington D.C. told Military Times that they have already received more than 3,000 applications for U.S. citizens wanting to fight. That figure, he said, includes many military veterans. He could not say how many.
