Amid growing interest from foreigners in serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, journalists from the popular Brazilian YouTube channel Mundo Em Revolution conducted an interview with the authorized representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for recruitment, Oleksii Bezhevets, who coordinates the enlistment of volunteers from Brazil and other countries.

Following the publication of a recruitment video inviting foreigners to join the Ukrainian Armed Forces, many people expressed interest in this opportunity, but numerous questions also arose. In the interview, Oleksii explained the adaptation process for new recruits, service conditions, salaries, citizenship opportunities, and other key aspects.

Key points from the interview:

· Before starting service, all volunteers undergo an adaptation period (up to 2 weeks) and complete documentation, followed by basic military training lasting 30-49 days.

· During training, soldiers receive a base salary of $500, which increases depending on their duties and deployment location.

· Foreign volunteers receive the same financial compensation as Ukrainian soldiers.

· Soldiers stationed on the front lines for 30 days can receive up to $4,500 per month. However, in most cases, soldiers do not remain on the front lines for 30 consecutive days.

· The minimum contract for foreigners is 3 years, but it can be terminated after 6 months without penalties.

· Foreign volunteers can open bank accounts and transfer money to their families abroad without restrictions.

· All military personnel receive medical insurance. In case of injury, treatment is fully covered by the Ukrainian government. If a volunteer is disabled, they receive compensation based on the severity of the injury.

· In case of death, the family of a foreign volunteer receives compensation of approximately $350,000.

· Foreign volunteers can apply for Ukrainian citizenship, but additional requirements must be met.

The interview generated significant interest, and for the convenience of Brazilian volunteers, the recruitment website was adapted into Portuguese. More details and a full list of frequently asked questions can be found on the official resource.
