Nearly 16,000 foreign volunteers from at least 72 countries are currently serving in Ukraine’s Defence Forces, Ukraine’s Military Ombudsman Olha Reshetilova has said, Euractiv reports.
Speaking at a meeting with the heads of Ukraine’s foreign diplomatic missions, Reshetilova said that almost 40% of those volunteers come from Latin American countries.
She said the government is working to establish mechanisms to safeguard the rights and legitimate interests of foreign servicemen throughout their military service.
