US Volunteers in Ukraine Accused of Infighting, Lies, and Fraud.

US volunteers who fought in Ukraine have been plagued by infighting, wasteful spending, and lies about their military backgrounds, according to a New York Times report. Some volunteers have left the war effort after questions arose about their backgrounds, while others have been accused of illegally exporting military technology or defecting to Russia. One volunteer, a home-improvement contractor from Connecticut, admitted to falsifying his military record and revealing his unit's location on the battlefield. The spotlight on the role of volunteers has grown as the conflict has moved past the one-year mark.
