It\u2019s his military call sign. Condor was an IT specialist back home but, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, he felt an unexplainable pull to join the fight alongside Ukrainian soldiers. It\u2019s a decision that shocked his friends and his family. He\u2019s now been in the country for three years, and even he still struggles sometimes to understand why he enlisted.   <\/p>\n<p>Condor is among the thousands of Latin American soldiers who have joined Ukraine\u2019s fight against Russia. He and his comrades spend weeks in the trenches, rifle in hand, prepared to kill \u2014 and to be killed. Their reasons for going vary, but through Condor\u2019s story we gain insight into why these men and women leave everything behind, and travel to a country far away to fight in a war that is not their own.<\/p>\n<p>From DW and LA Times Studios, in collaboration with Futuro Studios, this four-part series is available in English and Spanish: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLLCaFCzriErc<\/p>\n<p>Listen wherever you get podcasts: https:\/\/pod.link\/6808417916<\/p>\n<p>#CallSignCondor #ukraine #russia #latinamerica<\/p>\n<p>For more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Follow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baReddit: https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/DWNews\/<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We meet Condor, which is not his real name.
