I see what you're saying, but I'm not sure that would be the case.

Ukraine is fighting a defensive war against an oppressive invading country and I don't know (emphasis on I don't know) that they have more foreign fighters than Russia (mostly North Korea, but also Cuba, Africa, etc.).

I do know Ukraine has some foreign legions(?) with a significant number of Columbians and Iraq/Afghanistan war veterans from multiple countries, along with anti-Putin Russians and Belarusian forces.

Ukraine's low numbers (my understanding of their numbers) could be due to financial and logistical (training and supplies/equipment) constraints though.
