Military chaplain Mykola Bahirov prays with Ukrainian military members of the 33rd separate mechanised brigade next to traditional cakes and other food to celebrate Orthodox Easter, in the Kharkiv region, on April 12, 2026, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A member of the Greek Catholic faith, this 39-year-old man was serving as a diocesan secretary when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. It was at a soldier's funeral, when he saw the terror in the soldier's daughters, that Mykola Bahirov decided to become a chaplain: rather than accompany them in death, he would, while they were still alive, stay close to the Ukrainian soldiers fighting against the Russian invader.

After the Russian invasion began in February 2022, the Ukrainian government regulated the gradual incorporation of foreign fighters into regular armed forces. The 3rd Ukrainian Assault Brigade opened its ranks to foreign fighters only recently, attracting a number of Colombian nationals. Foreign fighters who join the Ukrainian army sign an employment contract that gives them the same rights as Ukrainian soldiers. EPA/MARIA SENOVILLA
