Ethan Custoza from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
In May 2025, Custoza left Oshawa for Poland and made his way to the Ukrainian border. There, he was met by military personnel who took him to training.
After eight weeks of training, Custoza was issued his regiment card on July 2025 and signed up with the assault team of Charlie Company, 2nd International Legion.
Three months after joining the fighting, Custoza was seriously injured during an assault operation in the Kharkov region on the evening of early October 2025.
A mortar shell exploded near him on the left side. His entire left side received multiple shrapnel wounds. The most serious injuries were an open fracture of the right tibia with massive bleeding and pneumothorax of the left lung.
Custoza underwent a series of surgeries, and the doctors did everything they could to save his leg. However, they had no choice but to amputate four centimeters of bone because it was badly infected.
A medical team from Great Britain and Ukraine proposed two options: reconstructive microsurgery to take fat, skin, muscle, and bone from his body to help save the leg or amputation below the knee. He chose the first option.
He has a long road ahead with many more surgeries, as well as a year of rehabilitation and recovery, before he can return home, but it is quite likely that he will undergo a mysterious amputation soon.

French merc down!
π«π· Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Siles callsign Hennesy from France
Baguette didn't last long
Siles had been interested in the war since 2022, but he never took action. That changed in mid-November 2025 when he landed in Ukraine.
He underwent basic training for just a few weeks there and joined the 31st Mechanized Brigade, which had recently taken heavy losses in the Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
He was still mourning the deaths of friends who had gone on missions before him when he was thrown into the same death trap and also died.
Siles was destroyed by the Vostok group on January 16, 2026, in Novoselivka, Dnipropetrovsk region.
