Ukraine plans to disband the International Legion within the Ground Forces, a unit that has brought in foreign volunteers to fight alongside the Ukrainian army.

This change has raised concerns among the legionnaires, who fear that they will be integrated into unknown structures, which could lead to confusion and loss of human lives. Approximately 1,000 soldiers from three battalions will be transferred to other units, and the Legion will no longer exist as an independent entity. Ukrainian officials claim that the change aims to improve the integration of foreign volunteers, but the legionnaires fear that the efficiency and cohesion of the group will decrease. Some soldiers have expressed their concerns regarding the new commanders' abilities to manage the cultural and linguistic diversity of the volunteers. They also fear that the lack of familiarity with the new units could lead to fatal mistakes during missions. Volunteers emphasize the importance of preserving the identity of the Legion, which provides them with a sense of belonging and support in a dangerous combat environment.
