US COMMITMENT TO UKRAINETreating the wounded volunteers at Landstuhl represents another level of U.S. commitment to Ukraine.
Thousands of foreign volunteers headed to Ukraine after Russia’s February 2022 invasion and are now fighting with regular Ukraine army units and a foreign legion.
Dozens of foreign volunteers are wounded each month, according to the four fighters interviewed by Reuters.
Of 20 Ukrainian Army patients admitted so far, nearly all since August, 16 have been foreign volunteers, according to Marcy Sanchez, a spokesman for the hospital.
"The bureaucracy is just horrendous," said Craig Borthwick, lead medic for ReactAid, explaining the many layers of military, medical and government authorizations required.
