Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said during an online briefing that foreigners from 52 countries of the world are being sent to Ukraine, reports UNIAN.

"Requests from such citizens are being processed, the mobilization of free people of the world is simply amazing. As of today, experienced veterans and volunteers from 52 countries of the world are sent to us. It is their wish that they have expressed. We have not hired them, we are not stimulating them with anything," Kuleba said.

He also said that the total number of applications from foreigners who are ready to take up arms to defend Ukraine is approaching 20 thousand.
