Description
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 the soldiers, Ukraine is no longer just a faraway place — it has become their home. And many soldiers say they want to remain in the country even after the war ends.
