据国防部1月10日表示,近1,300名居住在波兰、丹麦、捷克、德国、立陶宛及其他欧洲国家
的乌克兰人已申请加入总部位于波兰的乌克兰军团。
该军团于2024年7月揭幕,作为一支由居住在波兰的乌克兰人组成并由波兰武装部队训练的
志愿军队。第一个志愿者招募中心于去年10月在波兰东部城市卢布林的乌克兰领事馆开放。
国防部在1月10日宣布,第二批志愿者已在卢布林签署合同。新兵中首次有女性参与,她们
申请了医疗和通信职位。
“今天,我们接纳的新兵比去年十一月更多。”军团指挥部代表彼得罗·波克鲁沙中校表示
。
“这显示出我们公民对这一倡议的信心日增。”国防部尚未透露迄今签署合同的人数。
签署合同后,新的志愿者开始在波兰武装部队的设施下接受波兰教官的训练,并使用现代北
约武器。
该军团的成立旨在让居住在海外的乌克兰人参与乌克兰对抗俄罗斯入侵的防卫行动,以应对
日益严重的人力短缺。
该军团将允许乌克兰人参与战斗,并在完成服役后返回海外居住地。在2022年全面战争开始
后实施的戒严法下,18至60岁的乌克兰男性未经许可不得离开乌克兰。
联合国估计,由于俄罗斯的全面入侵,已有670万乌克兰人被迫流亡海外。这还不包括自202
2年前以来居住在欧洲、美国、加拿大等地的大量乌克兰侨民。

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.
