According to Bodnar, on January 10, the next volunteers will sign contracts with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and go to the training ground in Poland.
“This is actually a success story, from which some politicians or Russian propaganda are trying to make a negative fact. The process, of course, we would like it to go faster, but it is going as it goes. We are working to make this information publicly available to everyone EU countries, and possibly overseas,” he said.
He emphasized that it is possible to stimulate only by voluntary encouragement, because this is a completely voluntary unit.
The ambassador does not name the number of volunteers.
