Link to the official website should be changed from: ildu.com.ua to ildu.legion.army Ildulegionarmy (talk) 13:04, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Both sites exist with slight differences, do you have any reliable sources to support the latter being the official website? Also, based on your username are you associated with the legion in any way? Ultraodan (talk) 03:12, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe it to be right that the US is listed as unclear in regards to legality.

I think that it's quite clear that the laws stated are referring to things such as filibustering, where private armies entered sovereign states from the US to commit wars. Thus I believe there to be no contradiction between the two stated laws, making it completely legal. 2603:6080:7702:725A:2151:DE33:FE3F:FA38 (talk) 19:57, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Croatia (section Summary of international government responses)

I think there might be a grammatical ambiguity here in this summary, which may have arisen in translation:

Croatia allows participation in the war on the condition that the constitutional order of that country is not violated, its territorial integrity is undermined and mercenary is not involved.

What needs clarifying are:

The constitutional order of whose country?
The territorial integrity of whose country - the country you purport to fight for or the country of the enemy (in case of any fighting beyond Ukrainian borders)?

A clarifying rephrase of the statement would surely help.Cloptonson (talk) 19:16, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Table Missing Figures

The table titled "Foreign volunteers killed in Ukraine as of 9 December 2024" is missing any relevant numbers of foreign volunteer fatal casualties. This appears to be an error? So far, the table just shows two columns: country and reference, with no further information. Neutral Editor 645 (talk) 17:30, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
