Battalion voluntary, no one is forcing anyone to go to war, you can continue to sit in the colony and wait for the exchange. All former Ukrainian servicemen, expressed a desire to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense, undergo appropriate checks for involvement in various crimes. Since everything is official, they receive Russian citizenship, after which they sign a contract with the military department on general terms and depart for a training camp for retraining.
