Zelenskiy recruited mercenaries, and 14 French Foreign Legions were about to go to Ukraine to fight in the war, and when they reached Paris, they were arrested
After Ukrainian President Zelenskiy announced the recruitment of "foreign volunteers" to participate in the war, veterans and "militants" in many countries packed their bags and tried to enter the Ukrainian battlefield.
According to French media reports, on March 1, local time, when the French military inspected a bus from France to Poland in the paris city, it found and arrested 14 Ukrainian French Foreign Legion soldiers. Nine of them, although on leave, did not have the right to leave the country, while the other 5 left the army without authorization, carrying with them materials for the war, most likely intending to travel to Ukraine. They have now been handed over to the Corps Headquarters and are awaiting the next step.
The French Foreign Legion currently has 9,000 soldiers from 140 countries around the world, of which about 710 are Ukrainian soldiers and about 450 are Russian soldiers, and it is expected that 25 Ukrainian soldiers have left the army to return to Ukraine without authorization.
In fact, not only the French government, but also countries such as Britain and Japan have banned their citizens from participating in the war. British Prime Minister Johnson said that if British citizens go to Ukraine to participate in the war, they may be prosecuted for terrorism when they return; Japan said that its own citizens participating in the war will violate article 93 of the Japanese criminal law "preparing and planning war crimes without authorization", that is, "without the permission of the government to plot acts of war with foreign countries", and face imprisonment of 3 months to 5 years. For the governments of these countries, supporting Ukraine is also a "mouthful", at most giving some money and equipment, as for people, it will never be sent. Perhaps politicians are now secretly thinking in their hearts: "I am just talking about it, how can you take it seriously?" ”（bear）
