A wealthy tech executive is using his own money to fund hundreds of foreign volunteers looking to

fight against Russia in Ukraine

A wealthy tech executive is funding hundreds of volunteers to fight Russian troops in Ukraine.

Anthony Capone, the president of DocGo, a mobile medical services and transportation company, has been funneling his own money to help foreigners who want to go to the frontlines and defend Ukraine but don't have the means.

A trip to Europe a decade ago changed Capone's life. He said that he had been beaten by soldiers in Minsk when trying to get to Russia through Belarus and met a Polish-Ukrainian engineer who befriended him. That experience helped him develop a connection to Ukraine and motivated him to start sponsoring fighters, he told Insider.

"I now have many friends in Ukraine and saw their fear when the Russian invasion began," said Capone. "Friends and family trapped, communities decimated."
