SIX American special ops veterans are on the Polish border ready to enter Ukraine and join the resistance against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s army. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made the call for help.

These volunteers are believed to be among the first to join the newly formed International Legion of the Territorial Defense of Ukraine, the report said.  They will join sixty British volunteers who will also help the fight in Ukraine. Mamuka Mamulashvili, 43, commander of the Georgian National Legion has gathered these forces, though it’s unclear if he also recruited the 10 NATO troops already at the Polish border, according to the report. The White House has not made any endorsement. “I have a very big group of Britons, around sixty traveling to Ukraine to join up with my Georgian National League unit,” Mamulashvili told MailOnline. “They are traveling by car from the UK and will cross over at the Polish border. I am expecting them here with equipment and supplies in the next few days.” Mamulashvili is a veteran of the 2008 war against Russia in Georgia and a mixed martial arts expert, the Daily Mail reported.

Mamulashvili went on to say his team is experienced and well-equipped to be some of the “best foreign volunteer soldiers in the world.” He noted that anyone who wanted to volunteer could get in touch with the Ukrainian embassy in London. If that isn’t possible, they can make their way to Poland and cross the border into Ukraine and head for the city of Lviv where there is a mobilization base. On Sunday, Zelensky encouraged foreigners to go to Ukrainian embassies in their home countries and sign up for an “international brigade” to help fight invading Russian forces, the Daily Mail reported. This all comes after loud explosions filled the air when Russian air strikes hit the Ukrainian capital. Brave Ukrainian citizens launched Molotov cocktails, also known as petrol bombs, gasoline bombs, or firebombs at a Russian tank. This was after the government issued instructions to its citizens on how best to use the fiery weapons to disable the invaders’ tanks. Residents in the city remained defiant in the face of the onslaught. “We will greet them with Molotov cocktails and bullets to the head,” said bank employee Viktor Rudnichenko. “The only flowers they might get from us will be for their grave.” The Russian army urged Ukrainians to leave Kyiv “freely” on one highway out ahead of what is an expected Russian offensive to capture the capital. Ukraine’s army says it fought off several attempts by Russian forces to storm the outskirts of Kyiv overnight with the capital also hit by three missile strikes. Despite the Ukrainian’s success in repelling all the attacks on Kyiv so far, US officials fear Putin’s forces could still prevail, after re-thinking their tactics. “They have been slowed and they have been frustrated by their lack of progress on Kyiv,” said one unnamed official, CNN reports. “And one of the things that could result is a re-evaluation of their tactics and the potential for them to be more aggressive and more overt in both the size and the scale of their targeting of Kyiv.” An International Criminal Court prosecutor is to open a probe into possible war crimes or crimes against humanity in Ukraine in the wake of the civilian slaughter. The Russians unleashed a devastating missile and rocket bombardment – as two-faced Kremlin officials met with a Ukrainian delegation to talk about peace. At least nine people are believed to have been killed and 37 injured including three children as a barrage of rockets and missiles smashed into Kharkiv, the second city of Ukraine.
