The International Legions operate as dedicated special-purpose battalions, directly subordinate to the Command of the Land Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Volunteers from more than 75 countries are already defending Ukraine's independence and safeguarding the security of the free world.
Within the Legions, foreign volunteers serve as full-fledged members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, enjoying the same rights, responsibilities, and comprehensive support as all Ukrainian servicemen.
