🎙Voices from the Front — In Believers, Killers & Runaways, former British soldier and Ukrainian Marine Shaun Pinner unpacks one of the most misunderstood aspects of the war in Ukraine — the foreign volunteers who came to fight.
Who were they? What drove them — conviction, adrenaline, or survival?
I separate myth from reality in this bite-size episode, exploring the chaos, courage, and controversy surrounding Ukraine’s international legion — and the Russian narrative that falsely brands them as mercenaries.
Part memoir, part frontline reporting, and part psychological study, Believers, Killers & Runaways reveals the hidden truths behind the headlines. From the idealists who came to defend democracy, to those seeking purpose after a lifetime of conflict, and the ones who ran when war got real — this series asks uncomfortable questions about motivation, morality, and what happens when war strips everything else away.
Through first-hand accounts and my own brutal experience in Mariupol and captivity, I paint a raw, human portrait of modern warfare — and the choices that define us when everything is on the line.
