War in Ukraine: Brazilians ready to defend a territory 11,000 km from home

Description

Saulo, a former officer of the Military Police of Sao Paulo, packs his bag with "just the essential" to go to Poland in the hopes of joining the international force in Ukraine. He wants to "help the Ukrainian people and avoid a third world war." Saulo is in touch with Leandro Galvao, an ex-military of the Brazilian Army, who is already in Kyiv fighting the Russians alongside the Ukrainian army. Like them, hundreds of Brazilians were inspired by President Zelensky's call and say they are ready to fight and defend a foreign territory, some 11,000 kilometres away from their own.
