Foreigners who travel to Ukraine to fight alongside Ukrainian forces
during the war with Russia can receive Ukrainian citizenship, a top
official said this week.

First Deputy Interior Minister Yevhen Yenin said the growing number of
volunteers sign a contract and get military papers, Ukrinform
reported. Volunteers are eligible for citizenship, he also said.

“If such foreign nationals are interested in obtaining Ukrainian
citizenship, our legislation provides for them such an opportunity,”
Yenin was quoted as saying.

Ukraine recently created an international bridge composed of people
from other countries who join the fight against Russia, which invaded
Ukraine in February.

Ukrainian President Volodymy Zelensky called shortly after the
conflict began for foreigners to help Ukraine and Zelensky said in
early March that some 16,000 had volunteered.

As of Wednesday, that number was up to 20,000, according to the Kyiv
Independent.

Britons who volunteered said they did so because they felt it was the
right thing to do.

Ukraine has also been bolstered by tens of thousands of men reportedly
returning from abroad.

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov warned Western
volunteers that they would be considered combatants and officials from
countries sending military assistance to Ukraine had mixed responses
to Zelensky’s call.

Several top American officials said Americans shouldn’t join the war.

“For those who want to help Ukraine and help its people, there are
many ways to do that, including by supporting and helping the many
NGOs that are working to provide humanitarian assistance; providing
resources themselves to groups that are trying to help Ukraine by
being advocates for Ukraine and for peaceful resolution to this crisis
that was created by Russia,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken
told a briefing on March 2.

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, though, said she supported
British citizens who wanted to join Ukrainian’s military.

“Absolutely, if that is what they want to do,” she said on BBC.
However, British troops who leave to Ukraine face prosecution, the
UK’s defense chief said.

A senior U.S. military official, meanwhile, told reporters on a call
this week that reports Russia was recruiting Syrian fighters to help
them against Ukraine were credible.

The United States thinks it’s “noteworthy” that Russian President
Vladimir Putin “indicated a willingness to rely on foreign fighters to
fight the war in Ukraine,” the official said, speaking on condition of
anonymity.
