Does the Ukrainian International Legion have a Special Forces wing?, if so we could add official sources to the article. As of this time it appears to be a ragtag force made out of haste and with a few voluntary detatchments of militias in these desperate times. Wunghuang 19:37, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found this on the French wiki[1] and translated it. Can it be useful?

Added to the article. Perhaps it should be checked whether all numbers presented are supported by sources. Can any other colleagues help me? Mhorg (talk) 09:34, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't the IFDU qualify as a mercenary group? They aren't official members of the UAF and behave more like Wagner. 209.171.85.51 (talk) 23:10, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

hello fellow wikipedians, it has come to my attention that source 45 is a bad source, as the sources originates from RT/Russia Today. i dont think i need to state that using a source from Russia Today about how Ukrainian recruitment has dropped because of Russian propaganda is a bad origin for sourcing ( the offical source 45 https://www.massnews.com/ukraines-international-legion-suffers-recruit-shortage-analysis/

the actually source of the claim https://www.rt.com/news/559477-ukraine-international-legion-shortage/ ) ThatGuyNamedSeth (talk) 00:54, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies if this sounds a bit nitpicky, but the official English name of the legion uses the British/Commonwealth spelling. This can be seen on both official websites and even the emblem displayed in the infobox of the article. According to Wikipedia's own guidelines on consistency within articles, in relation to different varieties of English, "proper names use the subject's own spelling, e.g., joint project of the United States Department of Defense and the Australian Defence Force; International Labour Organization". Considering this, shouldn't Defence be the favoured spelling? 2A00:23C6:4195:ED01:5455:599A:AA41:1D8B (talk) 01:10, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
