Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has temporarily lifted a visa requirement for foreign nationals who wish to join Ukraine’s “International Defence Legion” to fight against Russia.
Zelensky signed a decree late Monday, which will take effect on Tuesday and remain in effect as long as martial law persists. Foreigners—with the exception of Russian citizens–won’t need a visa to enter Ukraine if they are joining the legion to fight Russian troops, according to the decree, The Kyiv Independent first reported.
