Ambassador Bodnar: New Ukrainian Legion recruitment will include many times more volunteers than first one
The second recruitment to the Ukrainian Legion, which is being formed in Poland, will be much larger than the first.
According to Censor.NET, citing RBC-Ukraine, Ambassador of Ukraine to Poland Vasyl Bodnar said this during a telethon.
"Since the military asked me not to give any numbers, I cannot give you specifics. But it is definitely many times more than the first unit," Bodnar said.
He noted that the information campaign on the Legion's activities in different countries is currently being expanded. They are also fighting Russian fakes and explaining the details of how the unit functions.
"We explain how useful and necessary it is to mobilize all Ukrainians, not only those who live in Europe," Bodnar said.
Earlier it was reported that the first unit of the Ukrainian Legion, which is currently being formed in Poland, has already left for Ukraine. The soldiers will continue their training here.
