Quote from Koretskyi: "Recruiting international volunteers to the defence forces is one of the state's priorities. The task is to scale up this work and bring more people into the Ukrainian armed forces who are willing to defend our country together with Ukrainians."

Details: The National Guard press service told Ukrainska Pravda that international volunteers had previously joined its ranks through the Centre for Recruiting Foreign Nationals and Stateless Persons at the Ministry of Defence.

To streamline the recruitment of foreign nationals, the National Guard is establishing its own centre to expedite the deployment of recruits to combat units.

The centre will coordinate the recruitment of international volunteers for contract service and support candidates at every stage, from interviews and checks to training specifically within the National Guard.
