President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Aug. 15 called for an urgent session of Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada, as announced on his Telegram channel.
From: New Voice of Ukraine 🇺🇦 Zelenskyy stated that lawmakers must consider providing guarantees for Ukrainian soldiers participating in combat in Russia’s Kursk Oblast. According to him, Ukrainian military personnel should receive “absolutely all the payments and benefits provided for those on the front lines.”
He also added that the issue of trophy weapons captured in battles must be regulated in Ukraine.
In addition, according to Zelenskyy, the status of foreigners fighting on Ukraine’s side should be reviewed by the Rada. He believes they deserve the right to become Ukrainian citizens.
