War: Come and join our army – Ukraine begs Nigerians, others

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called on foreign citizens to join the country’s fight against the Russian army in a new ‘foreign legion’.

This is coming amid the major military operation launched against Ukraine by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A statement on the President of Ukraine’s website said citizens of any country could come to “fight side by side with the Ukranians against the Russian war criminals”.

On Sunday, the presidential website published a statement outlining the creation of an “International Legion for the Territorial Defence of Ukraine”.

It reads; “The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is addressing all citizens of the world, friends of Ukraine, peace and democracy

“Anyone who wants to join the defence of Ukraine, Europe and the world can come and fight side by side with the Ukranians against the Russian war criminals.”
