據國防部1月10日表示,近1,300名居住在波蘭、丹麥、捷克、德國、立陶宛及其他歐洲國家
的烏克蘭人已申請加入總部位於波蘭的烏克蘭軍團。
該軍團於2024年7月揭幕,作為一支由居住在波蘭的烏克蘭人組成並由波蘭武裝部隊訓練的
志願軍隊。第一個志願者招募中心於去年10月在波蘭東部城市盧布林的烏克蘭領事館開放。
國防部在1月10日宣布,第二批志願者已在盧布林簽署合同。新兵中首次有女性參與,她們
申請了醫療和通信職位。
「今天,我們接納的新兵比去年十一月更多。」軍團指揮部代表彼得羅·波克魯沙中校表示
。
「這顯示出我們公民對這一倡議的信心日增。」國防部尚未透露迄今簽署合同的人數。
簽署合同後,新的志願者開始在波蘭武裝部隊的設施下接受波蘭教官的訓練,並使用現代北
約武器。
該軍團的成立旨在讓居住在海外的烏克蘭人參與烏克蘭對抗俄羅斯入侵的防衛行動,以應對
日益嚴重的人力短缺。
該軍團將允許烏克蘭人參與戰鬥,並在完成服役後返回海外居住地。在2022年全面戰爭開始
後實施的戒嚴法下,18至60歲的烏克蘭男性未經許可不得離開烏克蘭。
聯合國估計,由於俄羅斯的全面入侵,已有670萬烏克蘭人被迫流亡海外。這還不包括自202
2年前以來居住在歐洲、美國、加拿大等地的大量烏克蘭僑民。

Almost 1,300 Ukrainians living in Poland, Denmark, Czechia, Germany, Lithuania,
and other European countries have applied to join the Poland-based Ukrainian Leg
ion, the Defense Ministry said on Jan. 10.
The legion was unveiled in July 2024 as a volunteer military unit made up of Ukr
ainians living in Poland and trained by the Polish Armed Forces. The first volun
teer recruitment center was opened last October at the Ukrainian consulate in th
e eastern Polish city of Lublin.
The ministry announced on Jan. 10 that the second group of volunteers had alread
y signed contracts in Lublin. For the first time, the new recruits included wome
n who applied for medical and communications roles.
"Today, we accepted more recruits into the unit's ranks than in November," said
Lieutenant Colonel Petro Pokrusha, a representative of the legion's command.
"This shows the growing confidence of our citizens in this initiative." The mini
stry has not revealed the number of contracts concluded so far.
After signing their contracts, new volunteers began training at the Polish Armed
Forces' facilities under Polish instructors and using modern NATO weaponry.
The legion was launched as a way to engage Ukrainians living abroad in Ukraine's
defense against Russia's invasion amid increasingly critical manpower shortages
.
The legion will allow Ukrainians to join the fight while being able to return to
their place of residence abroad after completing their service. Under martial l
aw instituted in 2022 after the start of the full-scale war, Ukrainian men aged
18-60 are not permitted to leave Ukraine without permission.
The U.N. estimates that 6.7 million Ukrainians were driven abroad as a result of
Russia's all-out invasion. This is in addition to a sizeable diaspora living in
Europe, the U.S., Canada, and elsewhere since before 2022.
