Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend Conor Kennedy has been secretly fighting Russian forces in Ukraine. Conor, the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has returned home safely and is now encouraging others to get involved. "Like many people, I was deeply moved by what I saw happening in Ukraine over the past year. I wanted to help.
When I heard about Ukraine's International Legion, I knew I was going, and I went to the embassy to enlist the next day," Conor, who dated Taylor for four months in 2012, wrote on Instagram. A post shared by Conor Kennedy (@jconorkennedy)Conor, 28, said only one person in the United States knew where he was, as he didn't want friends and family to worry about him. In Ukraine, he only identified himself accurately to one person. "Going in, I had no prior military experience and wasn't a great shot, but I could carry heavy things and learned fast. I was also willing to die there.
So they soon agreed to send me to the northeastern front," he said. Conor, who is John F. Kennedy's great nephew, didn't detail how long he was defending Ukraine against Vladimir Putin's Russian forces, but acknowledged it "wasn't long." "I saw a lot and I felt a lot," he wrote. "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."Despite knowing the risks, the scion said he would do it all over agin. "This war, like all others, is horrific. The people I met were the bravest I have ever known.

Russia appoints former Chechen war, Syria commander to lead flagging Ukraine campaign
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has appointed a new commander to the armed forces in Ukraine as Moscow looks to turn around its dwindling fortunes. General of the Army Sergei Surovikin will take over as Commander of the Joint Group of Russian Forces in Ukraine effective immediately, drawing on experience from the second Chechen war and campaigns in Syria and Tajikistan, Russian outlet Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported. Surovikin previously held command of the Southern group in June and Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2017. His Chechen war experience, where he led the 42nd Guards Motor Rifle Division, will draw scrutiny as a campaign rife with accusations of war crimes and human rights violations and marked by its brutality. Russian troops in 2004 raided a school in the rural community of Beslan after a three-day standoff with Chechen militants, with 330 of the 1,100 hostages – mostly children – killed.
