ICYMI: CEP Leads Research On Understanding Foreign Fighters In Ukraine



(New York, N.Y.) — A new Counter Extremism Project (CEP) report
<[link removed]>
authored by CEP non-resident fellowDr. Kacper Rekawek
<[link removed]>, A Year Of Foreign
Fighting For Ukraine, analyzes how the war is being fought, who is fighting,
and what challenges governments must contend with as individuals return home
from service as a volunteer with the Ukrainian armed forces.



His analysis, based on more than 70 interviews and intensive research
conducted throughout 2022, concludes that the number of foreign fighters in
Ukraine has been exaggerated and that the composition of the foreign contingent
contains only a small minority of far-right individuals.



The report has been cited in major media outlets in the U.S., Poland, Spain,
Belgium, Slovakia, and the Netherlands. On March 25, theNew York Times relied
on CEP’s work in its story, “U.S. Volunteers Add to Chaos On Battlefield
<[link removed]>
”. TheTimes story explored the state of the International Legion of Defence of
Ukraine (ILDU), which serves the role of accommodating and organizing arriving
foreign fighters.
