Jean-Francois Ratelle, who led the Norman Brigade under the nom de guerre Hrulf, was one of two Canadians to die within the past month fighting for Ukraine.

An international studies professor at the University of Ottawa, also called Jean-Francois Ratelle, said the Norman Brigade appears to have shifted from occupying defence roles β€” holding battle lines β€” to activities outside the front lines. Ratelle, who studies foreign fighters, is not related to the deceased soldier of the same name.

Uhh. What are the chances?
