Putin's deserters poised to fight against him on front lines

A group of Russian defectors is training in the Kyiv region to soon be sent to Ukraine's front lines to fight Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces, according to a new report.

The New York Times on Sunday wrote that the Free Russia Legion is a combat group made up of Russian fighters so opposed to Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine that they have been willing to take up arms against their own country.

The story said that while several hundred Legion members are fighting against Russia around Bakhmut, another group is near the end of three-month basic training and will soon be deployed to the front lines.
