"Going in, I had no prior military experience and wasn't a great shot, but I could carry heavy things and learned fast," he added. "I was also willing to die there. So they soon agreed to send me to the northeastern front.

 

Elsewhere in his post, Kennedy said that his time in Ukraine "wasn't long," but that he "saw a lot and I felt a lot."

 

"I liked being a soldier, more than I had expected. It is scary. But life is simple, and the rewards for finding courage and doing good are substantial," he added, without detailing when exactly he left the International Legion.

Though he had no military training previously, Conor was quickly assigned to a special forces unit that Robert says included soldiers from Ukraine, NATO countries, and a couple of Americans. While no U.S. soldiers are officially stationed in the country, some — like Conor — have taken matters into their own hands, though the United States advises against traveling to Ukraine right now as a handful of foreign nationals have been trapped, captured or killed.

 

Without any experience, Conor was first trained to operate drones. "That job was pretty dangerous," Robert says. "The Russians have technology that allows them to spot you when you turn on the drones, so they can electronically see the pilot and then target the pilot with artillery, which kills anything within 100 yards."

Conor was unharmed and, within weeks, promoted to another job: machine gun operator.

 

"He got a tripod-mounted machine gun that had to carry 1,000 rounds of ammunition," Robert says. "He was big enough and strong enough to carry that gun."

 

Conor made it through the two months without being harmed — and with the assistance of a group of soldiers with whom he grew close.

After what Robert says was two-and-a-half months spent in Ukraine, Conor made his way out, calling his dad when he arrived in Brazil.
