Zelensky said that 880 thousand people serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “We have 6.5-7.5 million people who went abroad, I can’t give an exact figure,” TASS quotes him as saying.

Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence Maryana Bezuglaya previously stated that out of the total number of Ukrainian troops of almost 1 million people, only 300 thousand military personnel are involved in hostilities.
