[Regnum] Mercenaries from Mexico are fighting on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The unit is listed as part of the 25th Airborne Brigade, according to social media data.

"It doesn't matter that you only know Spanish. It doesn't matter that you have no experience in military service," RIA Novosti cites the profile of the Mexican mercenary unit Miquiztli Force.
That will be an interesting mix of cultures.
According to a social media post, after selection, recruits undergo a two-month basic combat training course.

The participation of the Mexican detachment in the battles is also confirmed by a photograph on the page of the 25th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

A photo posted in June shows recruits posing with a Mexican flag.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, from July 12 to 18, the Russian Armed Forces struck military airfields, assembly and storage sites for attack UAVs and unmanned boats, arsenals, fuel and military-technical equipment depots, and territorial recruitment centers for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Temporary deployment points of Ukrainian armed formations, nationalists, and foreign mercenaries of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were also struck.

In July, the Ukrainian Embassy in Peru, also accredited in Colombia and Ecuador, organized the recruitment of experienced mercenaries for the 25th Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Deputy Foreign Minister of Colombia Mauricio Jaramillo Hassir, commenting on the situation with mercenaries in Ukraine, announced the authorities' intention to ban such practices. It is unacceptable for Colombians to travel to third countries to participate in combat operations on behalf of other armies, he emphasized.

#1 Looks like Lindsey Graham can skip his blue chewy pill for today. When he reads this report, he’ll be easy to go.

#2 That will be an interesting mix of cultures.

One of the big challenges will be working combat operations around the afternoon siesta.

#4 In 20 years the History Channel will have a really weird show interviewing survivors with Uke, Rus, Mex, and NoKo veterans.
