Australian Zaky Mallah, the first person charged with terrorism in Australia, is hoping to be signed up to fight with a Ukrainian military unit which is recruiting Australians. The Asov Battalion - which Sydney man Mr Mallah, who was jailed in maximum security for two years before being acquitted of terrorism charges, has applied to join - has set up a Facebook page in its recruitment drive for men to join for a minimum two months. The battalion describes itself as a military wing of the Ukrainian Government and is open to 'all foreign volunteers' to join a revolution 'This is a revolution for idealists... You will get over here and will find only problems, war, adventure, maybe death, serious wounds, but for sure also great memories and friends for a lifetime,' the revolution's call to arms poster reads.
