Troops Perform traditional Haka War Dance in Tribute to Fallen New Zealand Soldier in Ukraine

How large is the legion etrangere (foreign/international legion) fighting for the Ukraine! I believe very little is being reported about it.

Presumably, the Haka War Dance was performed by other New Zealand soldiers fighting for the Ukraine.

"The farewell ceremony for Dominic Abelen, a soldier from New Zealand who fought for the International Legion under Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR), took place in Kyiv on Tuesday, accompanied by a traditional Haka war dance by his comrades in his memory. 

Abelen was killed in action on Aug. 23, 2022, near Vuhledar, Donetsk region. His body was recovered recently and is set to be buried in his homeland. ..."
