Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has held a meeting with permanent Security Council members, and the Kremlin’s press service has published takeaways from there, Realnoe Vremya reports.
Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu has raised three issues related to the special military operation. The first one is about engaging volunteers in Ukraine.
“We are receiving a lot of applications from different volunteers from different countries who would like to go to the Lugansk and Donetsk to participate in, as they think, in the liberation movement. The biggest amount is from Near Eastern countries: there are already more than 16,000 applications”, claimed Shoigu.
“Therefore, if you see that if some people who want to come as volunteers and help people living in Donbas, we should meet them halfway and help them go to the battlefield,” the president of Russia mentioned.
