There are also Syrians with a grudge against Russia who want to fight them. One of them is the FSA hero 'Abu TOW' who now wants to be a Javelin operator (maybe he's already there).
Yeah, I just saw this article about a group of Syrians and foreign fighters who were passing through Turkey and are now in the Ukraine: https://archive.is/crOKF
Of course, I'm going to treat it like propaganda, but if you Google "Syrians fighting in Ukraine" ALL you get is western media stories about Putin using Syrians. I just wish it wasn't so hard to know what's going on amidst all the disinformation.
What a cluster-fuck this is quickly becoming! Syrian-vs-Syrian, Chechens-vs-Syrians, Ukrainians-vs-Syrians, Russians-vs-Syrians, Ukranians-vs-Russians...
Russia is also now recruiting Syrian mercenaries to fight in Ukraine.

The guy is a legend, with by far more ATGM kills than anyone in the world. Not to be confused with Abu Hamza (a younger guy with a mullet), who's a #2 contender but he's a multitasker using just every type of weapon they had, leading infantry assaults, etc. There was also Abu Omar who taught Hamza. A thread with about The Abu Three, and where they are now (now being 2 years ago): https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/btyzci/what_ever_happened_to_abu_mullet_guy/ (my hidden comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/btyzci/what_ever_happened_to_abu_mullet_guy/ep7dxsd/).
And then there was Abu Hajar, the legendarily incompetent ISIS fighter who got all his buddies killed and recorded it all.
There were 4 Abus in their truck (and Khattab the driver).

The thread about him going to Ukraine, along with a video of his most prized kill (the fighter bombers, 2 actually because the rest was not him): https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/t7cxlr/famous_fsa_fighter_abu_tow_destroys_3_fighter/
An Abu Mullet compilation: https://archive.org/details/ode-to-abu-hamza But he's retired and a family man now.
He went home to be a family man.
