According to the latest information, the Italian 'foreign fighters' fighting in Ukraine are less than twenty, probably seventeen: eight with the pro-Russian separatists in the Donbass and nine with the Ukrainians.
Among the pro-Russian victims there was also Edy Ongaro, known as' Bonzambo, ultrà of Venice and activist of the social centers of the North East, killed at the end of March.
On the other hand, for Russia, the Italians in arms would be 60, of which ten have already returned home and 11 have died in battle, a news that however "does not appear" to the Italian intelligence.
At the beginning of the conflict Vavassori, like many other Italians, had collected information in the embassy to join the Ukrainians.
But because of his Russian origins he had had some problems shortly after joining the fighters.
To the transmission 'Le Iene'
he had said that someone suspected he was a spy, his cell phone had been confiscated and he had been interrogated for a few days.
Then he was back to fight.
And to tell his war about him: "Dying twenty years earlier or twenty years later doesn't matter", he explained.
