China News Service, Beijing, February 22 Kyiv News: According to Ukraine's "Kyiv Independent" newspaper, according to a decree signed by Ukrainian Zelensky on the 21st, foreigners and stateless people will be allowed to serve in the Ukrainian National Guard.
The National Guard of Ukraine is subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and is responsible for public security. Since the full-scale outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 2022, Ukrainian National Guard servicemen have also been fighting on the front lines.
According to the report, this decree was issued on the Ukrainian government, which comes at a time when the Ukrainian government is trying to increase mobilization in 2024. The decree came into force immediately on the 21st.
The decree states that foreigners and stateless persons legally residing on the territory of Ukraine, who have not been convicted of a crime for violating the law and meet the requirements for military service established in the relevant legislation of Ukraine, may be allowed to serve in the National Guard of Ukraine on a voluntary basis.
According to the report, last year, Zelensky made a number of changes to the leadership of the Ukrainian National Guard, including the appointment of Alexander Pivnenko as the new commander in July last year, and the replacement of four deputy commanders in November last year. (ENDS).
