Ukraine is entering its fifth year of war, but what many people don't know is that nearly half of all foreign soldiers are from Latin America. Oekra��ne. I wanted to know who they are and why they are there. What do you mean? It's Condor. It's not his real name, it's his military call sign. He's from Latin America. He hates being recorded, but he agreed to tell me his story. And through him, I entered this world of Latino soldiers in Ukraine. Cometes un error, no la cuentas. El primer disparo a alguien nunca lo vas a olvidar. Yo soy muy feliz. Cuando logr�� enviarlos a su casa. Controlo el miedo para que no se me convierta en p��nico. My name es Carolina Chiemoy amery Porter at the W. For you, and this is called Sign Condo, a podcast from WLA Times Studios and Futura Studios, wherever you find your podcasts.
