The adfontesmedia.com link profiling stripes.com is here to provide context to those (especially outside of the United States) who do not have context for the source. Specifically that it is a credible, unbiased source.

Please see my comment in reply to the question below the link here.

Their site (fightforua.org) said no combat experience necessary and correspondence with that organization confirmed this. (Edit: looks like it now required) I have no combat experience but do have experience with search and rescue and disaster relief. I know those are very different, but I am willing to either fight or do something I have experience with. I signed up about a week after their Legion came into existence. I heard back with some questions answered and a link to another form to fill out, which I did. Then nothing, and it's been a month or more. I wrote back and the response was that they were really busy with screening and I needed to wait longer.

Does anyone have ideas of how I can help Ukraine in Ukraine? I don't mind the very high risk but I have no money to donate.

Are you suggesting there aren’t foreign fighters in Ukraine and this is a propaganda fluff piece?

Thank you for asking this!

In fact, after a couple of long comment threads here with users contesting the veracity / relevance of my "main stream media" choices, I am actually suggesting the exact opposite - that this is a credible source, well positioned to report on the topic of the article, which contains a phenomenon of interest (the increasing standards of the foreign fighter cohort being selected by Ukraine).

Interesting, they use a Reliability Score range of 0 to 64 and a Bias Score range of -42 to +42.

Easy to adjust reading once I knew that, but I'm curious why they don't normalize them both to something more commonly seen like 0 to 100 or -10 to +10?

I agree. There have been attempts to do that (and more) such as :
