In perhaps a ‘sign of the times', Mediafax, one of the biggest Romanian news agencies, published an article on Sept. 19 with the headline, “Do you want to end the energy crisis in Europe that was caused by Russia? Here are the steps to join the Ukrainian Foreign Legion.”
It is designed to speak to your pain: “Some may turn to ingenious methods and alternative energies. Because of the war, 19 EU countries are accelerating their transition to renewable energy. Others might use immoral methods to obtain energy, and here I am not necessarily referring to ‘stealing electricity from neighbours', but to [Hungary’s] Viktor Orbán buying gas in rubles from the Russian aggressor while committing murder and genocide in Ukraine.
And now, to channel that rage: “However, the crisis could only be eased and even ended if Europe focused on the problem that aggravated the energy shortage after the coronavirus pandemic –- the aggression of the Putin regime in the Russian Federation. Many Europeans, desperate about high energy bills and high food prices, caused by Vladimir Putin’s cutting off gas supplies and paralysing the Black Sea grain trade, could resort to an even more extreme but more effective measure to solve the energy crisis quickly — becoming volunteer soldiers in Ukraine and fighting the Russian aggressor to end the energy crisis!”
Then it translates a long advertisement from the Ukrainian recruiting site https://fightforua.org/ and furnishes all the necessary contacts of the Ukrainian Embassy.
If you don’t make it back home, there’s no need to worry about those gas and food costs.
