Everyone in the world has already noticed the courage of Ukrainians to defend not only their Motherland but the whole Europe and its democratic values. However, this war is not only against Ukraine. This war is against Europe, democracy, basic human rights and peaceful coexistence.

Thus, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, addressed all citizens of friendly to Ukraine countries, to come to Ukraine and together with brave Armed Forces to fight against and win Russian occupants. The legal base of foreigners’ direct participation is created already.

According to the Regulation on military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine by citizens of other countries and stateless persons (approved by President of Ukraine Decree #248 of June 10, 2016) foreigners, that have the desire to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine, can do it by signing a contract, including with the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forced of Ukraine. Thus, a separate foreigner’s detachment, named the Territorial Defense International Legion of Ukraine, is formed.

Obviously, there is no greater contribution to international peace and security, than directly participating in its maintenance. In case you want to enroll or to get extra details, please do not hesitate to contact the Defense Attaché of the Ukrainian Embassy in your country.

The only way to maintain world peace is to fight together!
