Zelenskiy urges all foreign citizens to join Ukraine in war against Russia
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is asked foreign citizens around the world to join in the war against Russia.

A statement on the presidential website reads:

The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskiy is addressing all citizens of the world, friends of Ukraine, peace and democracy. Anyone who wants to join the defence of Ukraine, Europe and the world can come and fight side by side with the Ukrainians against the Russian war criminals.”

According to Regulation on Military Service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine by citizens of their countries and stateless persons approved by Decree of the President of Ukraine #248 of June 10, 2016, foreigners have the right to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine for military service under Contract of a voluntary basis to be included in the Territorial Defence Forces of the Armed Forced of Ukraine, the statement adds.

A separate subdivision is being formed of foreigners entitled the International Legion for the Territorial Defence of Ukraine. There is no greater contribution which you can make for the sake of peace.”

Excluding certain Russian banks from the Swift system used for trillions of dollars-worth of transactions will hit the economy hard - and in the words of the White House, it will make the country rely on "the telephone or a fax machine" to make payments.

This is only a slight exaggeration. There are workarounds to Swift but none which are as efficient.

Only one country has been cut out in the past - Iran - which resulted in it losing 30% of its foreign trade.

Picking certain Russian banks will ensure the sanctions have the maximum impact on Russia, while preventing too much impact on Europe.

European businesses will be able to continue to collect money owed, and buy Russian energy.

Other measures are equally powerful. Curbs on Russia's central bank will stop it using its currency to limit the effect of sanctions.

Russia has been building up a cushion of foreign currency to protect its banks, but this new measure will significantly decrease the reserves available.

The impact of these measures may take a while to show - but they do express an immediate intent from Western nations.

Treba Ukrajince pomagati oruzjem i municijom na poludnevnoj bazi.
Ne moraju biti veliki paketi ali cisto da znaju da za svaki dan i za svaku noc redovno nesto dolazi.
