There are no mercenaries in Ukraine, as defined by Article 47 of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions. Foreign fighters are integrated in the regular Ukrainian Armed Forces and receive the same paycheck as Ukrainian nationals. https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/protocol-additional-geneva-conventions-12-august-1949-and#article-47--mercenaries
