The Polish National Defense Minister Vladislav Kosinyak-Kikish has announced that among the Ukrainians who are abroad, there is still not enough for the Ukrainian Legion. This issue has raised the discussion, as the creation of the Legion aims to support Ukraine in the face of a continuing conflict.
“We have prepared for that. We are not responsible for recruiting. However, the number of people who had to vote on the Ukrainian side is too small. These declarations were very high at the beginning - that even one brigade, that is, several thousand people, could be formed. However, this did not happen, ”Kosinyak-Kaysh said.
We will remind, in July, 3 days after the announcement of the creation of the Legion, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland Radoslav Sikorsky stated that several thousand people had already applied for admission.
The invitations came to Ukrainian refugees abroad by e -mail.
