And uptick in escalation but its not as if the west hasn't escalated either. I wonder how Syrian fighters would fare in the cold, will some desert, can they even communicate (do Syrians speak Russian?).

That would be very weird.
I guess worldwide volunteers are going to fight for Ukraine against the Russian invasion, or against communism or just to defended the weak side.
But what about Syrians fighting vs Ukranians?? in the name of what? Syrians are not communist, they don't have any kind of historical relationship vs Ukraine nor any desire to go to the cold north far from home. So either they are paid mercenaries or forced to go by the Syrian government, but no way they are just volunteers.
