showing us around the damaged
neighborhood in Donetsk was Gillian a
young French volunteer in support of the
French far-right party the National
Front because the DNR for me is the

today claim with normal people
traditions your respect for for values a
sense of patriotism you know where are

Thoreau a 58 year old Spaniard who works
in a separatist press center came to
eastern Ukraine after being spired by
the plight of a young female DNR fighter
fighter in take apart a desk and she
have a video what you see he mama I love
you my father state my boyfriend the
state and i i depends the holder from
the family and and i think but this
current can do it I can do it
yeah but 17 years it's not Russia and
Ukraine of all it is a crazy Civil War
government from Kiev sent militaries to
kill maybe you can make a civil war and
palm paintsville objects it dumped us
and I think this is a way to stop the
aggressor and say no no pasaran no way
this may be a total Texas pain really I
hope we won't evolve and telida I mean
ever so much man and in the free with
the volunteers coming from both left and
right political backgrounds the
motivations of these fighters are often
contradictory which is not surprising in
a war complicated by intense propaganda
however the recent arrests of eight
Spaniards for fighting alongside the
separatists could signal a wider
crackdown by governments and their
citizens fighting the war meaning that
some of these volunteers could become
trapped in the conflict and unable to
return home
