Original Note:
The term “mercenary” is improper. Foreign volunteers in the AFU cannot be considered mercenaries if their commitment does not contravene article 47 of protocol 1 of June 8, 1977 additional to the Geneva conventions of August 12, 1949. https://www.stopfake.org/fr/faux-les-etrangers-qui-se-battent-pour-l-ukraine-sont-des-mercenaires/ https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/api-1977 https://www.ejiltalk.org/mercenary-or-combatant-ukraines-international-legion-of-territorial-defense-under-international-humanitarian-law/ https://cis-legislation.com/document.fwx?rgn=86889 https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/zvernennya-do-gromadyan-inozemnih-derzhav-yaki-pragnut-dopom-73213
