But what about Syrians fighting vs Ukranians?? in the name of what?

So either they are paid mercenaries or forced to go by the Syrian government, but no way they are just volunteers.

Russia has been hanging out in Syria for years now so there is a some semblance of a relationship there. Beyond getting paid (reportedly $200-$300), it would not be surprising if the Syrians have bought into the same Russian propaganda against Ukraine that others have. Ukraine could serve as a proxy for the West.
It would not shock me if the Syrians were not the only ones offering up their services for a price.
