Ukrainian Legion Sees Surge in Volunteer Applications

News summary

Recent reports indicate a notable desertion issue within Ukraine’s elite 155th Mechanized Brigade during their training in France, with dozens of soldiers leaving while under Ukrainian command, raising concerns over morale and personnel shortages. Simultaneously, the Polish-based Ukrainian Legion has seen an influx of nearly 1,300 applications from Ukrainians living abroad, including the first group of female recruits, as the unit aims to bolster Ukraine's defense amid ongoing combat. This legion, launched to engage Ukrainian expatriates in the war effort, has recently opened its second recruitment center, reflecting growing confidence in this initiative. Additionally, the Azov brigade is actively seeking English-speaking recruits internationally, highlighting its urgent need for experienced personnel as Ukraine faces heightened pressures on the battlefield. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry is investigating the desertion cases and implementing reforms to address the underlying issues affecting troop morale. As the war continues, the dynamic of recruitment and retention within the Ukrainian military remains a critical focus for officials.
