Traitor in the Ranks: Ex-U.S. soldier fights for Ukraine, then defects to Russia
Moscow was able to score a major propaganda win over Ukraine and the United States in early 2023 when reports began to emerge that a former US Army soldier had defected to Russia. However, the situation was a lot worse than it sounds.

Russian media revealed the identity of a former American soldier, who had reportedly joined Ukraine to fight against the Russian invasion of Ukraine but ended up spying on his comrades and defecting to the other side after he was compromised.
A traitor through and throug
John McIntyre served two years in the American military according to Newsweek’s Ellie Cook and joined Ukraine’s International Legion before switching to the Russian side in February 2023
Betraying Ukraine was always McIntyre's plan
When asked in an interview with Russia Today’s Murad Gazdiev why he joined Russia, McIntyre said he was a communist and always planned to betray Ukraine.
"I'm a communist"
"It's the reason I came to Ukraine in the first place," McIntyre told Gazdiev. "I'm a communist, I'm an anti-fascist, and we have to fight fascism everywhere."
Gathering information and intelligence
In a deep southern accent, McIntyre explained his original plan was to gather as much information as he could about Ukrainian forces before defecting to Russia.
McIntyre's time serving in Ukraine
Russia Today claimed that McIntyre had served in Ukraine since March 2022, fighting for both the Ukrainian Foreign Legion and the country’s Carpathian Sich battalion.
Forced to flee
McIntyre told Gazdiev that he had planned to infiltrate the Azov Battalion before defecting but was forced to flee after he said he was “compromised.”
Help from his family
McIntyre said he fled to Odesa where he was able to contact his mother who provided him with $300 dollars, money he used to get out of Ukraine to Chișinău, Moldova.

“From Chișinău, once I had made contact and everything and got my visa, I went to uh, Istanbul and then to Moscow,” the defector said.
Information and intelligence
Unfortunately, Russia Today explained that McIntrye brought a wealth of information with him, which was “already being used by the Russian military and law enforcement.”
McIntyre called the Ukrainians he fought beside Nazis and spoke about the country's war crimes, though no supporting evidence was provided for those claims.
