| Ukraine's Government Opens Website To Recruit Foreigners To 'International Legion' |
| 2022-03-07 |
His office announced the website's launch on March 5 and said, "foreigners who want to help Ukraine can find a detailed, step-by-step instruction on the website on how to join the just fight with the aggressor." It suggested that people contact the Ukrainian Embassy in their respective countries. Such participation in foreign conflicts is banned in many countries. The UN Mercenary Convention of 2001 also prohibits the recruitment, use, financing, and training of mercenaries. The Ukrainian recruitment website says contracts with the government can be signed on arrival in Ukraine. Zelenskiy has said several times that Ukraine welcomes foreigners who want to join Ukrainian forces fighting Russian troops since their invasion began on February 24. |
