Zelensky signs law allowing Ukrainian military forces to be sent abroad

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a law allowing the Armed Forces of Ukraine to be sent abroad during martial law, according to an official decree published on March 17.

The law aims to increase defense cooperation with partner countries, particularly by enabling Ukrainian forces to participate in training and receive military equipment.

"This will allow us to attract international support to strengthen Ukraine's defenses more quickly and effectively," the officials say.

The legislation allows Ukrainian military units to be deployed in other countries for national security purposes, including repelling armed aggression, protecting sovereignty and territorial integrity, and exercising the right to self-defense under international law.

The law does not concern the deployment of Ukrainian troops for combat operations on Russian territory.

The decision to send military personnel abroad will be made by the president, but requires approval from the Verkhovna Rada, the country's parliament. Deployments will be subject to a formal request that outlines the objectives of the mission, the number of troops, armament and the conditions of their stay abroad.

Zelensky vetoed the bill in January and returned it to parliament with amendments that clarify the decision-making process and ensure compliance with international law. Lawmakers approved the revised version in late February. /CNA
