US Army veteran going to Ukraine to assist country's military: 'I don't like what's happening'
Fox News
Matthew Parker, a U.S. Army veteran of 20 years, is heading to Ukraine to assist the country's military in any capacity he can in their fight against Russian military forces.
"I don't like what's happening on the ground over there. And I've seen what happens when civilians are caught in the middle of a war, and I found that the Russians have a tendency — when they can't win — to basically burn bridges," Parker told Fox News Digital.
The 50-something father of four adult children added that he had become close to a Ukrainian soldier who served under him for about a year and a half when he was in the Army. That soldier still has family in Ukraine, including a sister with disabilities, which Parker said is part of the inspiration behind his decision to offer his assistance there.
