Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has called for foreign fighters to join the war with Russia, leading to Colombian soldiers, experienced from fighting drug-trafficking cartels and rebel groups, bolstering Ukraine's ranks. With economic motivations and better pay, hundreds of retired Colombian soldiers have joined the Ukrainian army, receiving higher salaries and compensation for injuries compared to their home country. However, concerns arise as some Colombian fighters have gone missing in action, leaving their families desperate for information about their loved ones.
