Sainikhesh Ravichandran, a 21-year-old from Thudaliyur in Coimbatore, is the first Indian to have joined Ukrainians against Russia. Reports say he has joined a paramilitary unit of volunteers in Ukraine. His family informed intelligence officers that Ravichandran nurtured a passion to join the armed forces. He had been rejected by the Indian Army twice due to his height. He also reportedly enquired with the American consulate in Chennai to join the US military but that also did not work out.
