Belarusian volunteers enlisted in 2022 to fight against Russia 's war of aggression.

Most Belarusians are denied permission to stay in Ukraine after leaving the army because they do not meet the requirements for a residence permit.

Many of the veterans relocate to an EU country, usually Poland , as this is their first country of entry into the EU .

New law allows non-Ukrainians who fight for Ukraine to obtain a residence permit, even if their passports have expired.

Within a year of martial law being lifted, Russians and Belarusians who obtained a Ukrainian passport in this way will have to renounce their initial citizenship.
