Love and war in Ukraine | Call Sign Condor

Panama does a favor for a fellow soldier and, inadvertently, meets a Ukrainian woman with whom he falls in love. As he gets to know her family, he becomes immersed in Ukrainian culture, language, and traditions. Meanwhile, a translator develops deep bonds with the Latino soldiers he works with, and a commander with the Ukrainian army says he would be nothing without his Latino “Stormtroopers”.

As the war drags on, a mutual respect and appreciation grows between the Ukrainian people and many of these men and women from Latin America. For many soldiers, Ukraine is no longer just a faraway place — it has become their home. And some soldiers say they want to remain in the country even after the war ends.

From LA Times Studios and DW, in collaboration with Futuro Studios, this four-part series is available in English and Spanish: Alias Cóndor: Soldados Latinos en la Guerra de Ucrania
