What to know: Ukraine is seeking to dramatically expand the role of foreign recruits in its military, with Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov saying the government aims for foreigners to fill up to half of all assault and infantry positions.
Ukraine plans to open its military recruitment system to foreign nationals and aims to have foreigners fill as many as half of all assault and infantry positions in its armed forces, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said.
The proposal is part of a broader effort to strengthen combat units while reducing the burden on Ukrainian troops fighting Russia’s full-scale invasion, Fedorov said in a statement.
“We are opening the foreign recruitment market to strengthen combat units and preserve the lives of Ukrainian service members,” Fedorov said.
According to the minister, the government’s goal is for foreign nationals to occupy between 30% and 50% of assault and infantry positions in the Ukrainian military.

>>1519413 >It's what the Western media is saying Russia is doing. Russia's use of foreign troop isn't a secret. Denying it is denying water is wet. Their support from North Korea is something they've touted and they openly recruit in the Caribbean and Africa.
Not everything is a conspiracy, nor is it that odd to use foreign troops, either mercenaries or enlisted.

>>1519430 You can't invoke a defensive alliance in an offensive 3 day special military operation.
Also, Belarus would be at war if Russia were invoking its defensive alliances seeing as it's the only country Russia has a real defensive alliance with. Hell, the CSTO hasn't even been called upon.

>>1519461 >Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership >18 June 2024 So, to reiterate, they didn't have a defensive alliance. Ukraine and Russia had been in a state of open war since 2022. Arguably earlier.
Defensive alliances aren't retroactive, nutbag.
>Ukraine invaded Russia proper, they attacked Kursk. Kursk is undisputed Russian territory. 1. This treaty doesn't trigger mutual defense in the case of loss of territory. The mutual defense trigger is >In case one of the parties falls into a state of war due to armed invasion by an individual state or other states The invasion of Kursk changed fuck all about Russia's state of war. 2. By the time of the Kursk offensive, Russia had already claimed ownership of 5 Ukrainian regions, 4 of which had an active Ukrainian military presence.

>nitwits think "declaration of war" has any importance whatsoever The key legal term is international armed conflict. This is in contrast to an internal armed conflict like a civil war or normal criminality. https://www.undrr.org/understanding-disaster-risk/terminology/hips/so0101
For an international armed conflict the combatants can have legal protections if they follow international humanitarian law, and may be prosecuted as a criminal if they don't. Overall, in the realm of sovereigns, power is what matters and nobody is holding russia to the international conventions except through sanctions.

>>1519490 >Russia hasn't declared war on Ukraine, and Ukraine hasn't declared it on Russia >invasion of a country's territory triggers a 'state of war' These are mutually contradictory claims. If the declaration matters, then Russia still isn't in a state of war as they have to this day maintained the "it's de jure just a special military operation" stance. If invasions trigger a state of war, then Russia and Ukraine were already at war and the treaty can't be applied retroactively.

Not really relevant to this discussion, but Russia hasn't actually declared war for a reason other than the fact that nobody does that shit anymore.

>>1519550 >label games Putin calls it a SMO and annexed Ukraine on paper because it makes it easier to ignore russian rules about funding or troop deployment. The fiction lets him justify everything as homeland self defense and troop movement within Russia. All it proves is how weak and useless the russian legislature is.
Sadly, legislators being useless cunts is a worldwide problem.
