Brazilian who lost foot in war was Ukraine for ‘dream of being a military’

See the rest of Raphael’s report:

Ukrainians are quite united, compared to Brazilians, who only know how to judge; And surely I made the name of Brazilians, who are even well praised compared to other nationalities. Money is the last thing you think here. I’m sure I did my mission well, I was able to save the life of a Ukrainian, I rescued wounded, dragging him 4 km so as not to see him die. So I have a quiet conscience and that I did my best, while the people who judge me to be fighting for another country. Have you ever asked your neighbor if he needs any help? Are you fighting for the best of other people? Have you made any donation this month to an institution? Judging is easy, having attitude is different.

16 -day disappearance

Empress Maranhense accepted in late 2024 the proposal to fight for Ukraine in the war against Russia. In August last year, he left the law school to live in the Netherlands with his girlfriend. However, shortly thereafter the relationship ended, but decided to stay in Europe and volunteer to the Ukrainian army. In Brazil, he had already acted as a penitentiary agent of Maranhão.

On the 24th, Rafael’s family appealed in search of information from his whereabouts, which had been 13 days without news.

Rafael had been called to a mission for the 3rd Brigade Brigade on the 10th, and since the 11th no longer activated the cell phone. Unofficial information passed on to his mother, Neila Paixão, reported that he would have been killed in combat, which led her to “appeal to the federal government and the competent authorities.”
