The winged angel is not an official symbol of the 2nd Ranger Battalion or the 75th Ranger Regiment, but similar iconography is common in tattoos across all branches of the US military.

The US maintains that its military presence in Ukraine is limited to a small contingent of troops monitoring the delivery of Western military aid to the country. American special forces personnel also reportedly trained Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov Brigade in Poland last year, in defiance of a US State Department ban on aid to the unit.

Numerous American military veterans have died fighting in the Ukrainian military, including former special forces operatives. One of the most high-profile deaths was that of former US Army Green Beret Nicholas Maimer, who was killed in a Russian artillery barrage in Artyomovsk (formerly Bakhmut) last summer. Maimer’s body was displayed in a video released by the late founder of the Wagner private military company, Evgeny Prigozhin, who offered to “hand him over to the United States of America” for burial.

As of March, 1,113 American mercenaries had taken up arms for Ukraine, according to a tally released by the Russian Defense Ministry. At least 491 of these had been killed, the ministry stated.
