SENIOR UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, including the president, vice president and foreign minister, have begun issuing open calls for foreign volunteers to go to Ukraine and form an international armed brigade.
A number of Ukrainian ambassadors around
the world are reporting that groups of foreign volunteers are already en
route to Ukraine. Others are said to be answering calls to form a
pro-Ukrainian ‘cyber army’.
Early on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video statement
posted on social media that “all citizens of the world, friends of
Ukraine, peace and democracy” should “come and fight side by side with
the Ukrainians against the Russian war criminals”. He added that such an
act would be “key evidence” of foreigners’ support for Ukraine, and
that his government would arm all international volunteers. President
Zelensky concluded his message by urging those interested in going to
Ukraine to fight should contact the defense attachés at the Ukrainian
embassies in their respective countries.
Later that evening, Ukrainian Minster of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba tweeted
that Ukraine had officially formed the International Legion of [the]
Territorial Defense of Ukraine. The new body would be open to
“foreigners willing to defend Ukraine and [the] world order” from
Russian attacks, said Kuleba. The BBC later quoted
Ukraine’s Ambassador to London, Vadym Prystaiko, as saying that
“overwhelming” numbers of foreign nationals were “demanding to be
allowed to fight” in Ukraine. In a message
posted on Facebook (later deleted), the embassy of Ukraine in Israel
said on Sunday that it had “begun forming lists of [Israeli] volunteers
who wish to participate in combat actions against the Russian
aggressor”.
That same afternoon, Britain’s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Liz Truss, said in an interview
with the BBC that it was up to individual British citizens to make
their own decisions about whether to go to Ukraine and fight, “not just
for Ukraine, but for the whole of Europe”. Also on Sunday, BuzzFeed reported
that a multinational group of one German, six American and three
British citizens were already heading to Ukraine, in hopes of being
“among the first to officially join the new International Legion of the
Territorial Defense of Ukraine”. They told BuzzFeed that two other
Americans with military experience were on their way to Ukraine to
provide “leadership” for the international group of fighters.
In an interview
on Sunday, Ukraine’s charge d’affaires in Canberra, Volodymyr
Shalkivskyi, said his office had been in contact with “a number” of
Australians who were interested in joining the International Legion. He
cautioned, however, that going to Ukraine to fight was “a very serious
question so it’s not about going for adventure”. He added that the
Ukrainian embassy did not wish to violate Australian legislation in
regards to mercenary activities. Shalkivskyi said his embassy would
“consider the law” in cooperation with the Australian government,
“before taking further steps”.
Earlier in the weekend, Ukraine’s Deputy
Prime Minister, Olha Stefanishyna, and Digital Transformation Minister,
Mykhailo Fedorov, issued an open call
for the formation of a “volunteer cyber army” to fight for Ukraine. The
call was issued via the Telegram social media app. Fedorov claimed that
over 175,000 people had already shown interest in joining the
initiative, and “multiple tasks” had already been assigned to them.
Wired News reports
that one method of communication among those interested is the IT Army
channel on Telegram, whose members have already begun launching
cyber-attacks on Russia and Belarus.
