Recruitment and Retention of Members of the Georgian Legion in Ukraine

The Georgian Legion is a volunteer unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is composed of mostly Georgian citizens. The unit was formed in August 2014 in response to the Russian-backed separatist forces’ advances in Eastern Ukraine. The legion’s primary mission is to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

In order to attract more Georgian volunteers to the legion, the Ukrainian government has implemented a number of recruitment and retention initiatives. These initiatives include offering financial incentives, providing language training and cultural orientation, and offering access to health services. The Ukrainian government has also provided a number of resources to enable veterans of the Georgian Legion to reintegrate into civilian life.

In order to retain members of the Georgian Legion, the Ukrainian government has implemented a number of programs to ensure their long-term commitment to the unit. These programs include providing financial and career support, such as educational opportunities and job placement assistance. Additionally, the government has created a “family-style” system of support, providing guidance and support to legion members and their families.

Finally, in order to build a sense of camaraderie and loyalty within the legion, the Ukrainian government organizes training sessions, events, and other activities to boost morale and strengthen relationships. The Ukrainian government has also established a veterans’ association to provide a sense of community and a platform for legion members to share their experiences.

Overall, the Ukrainian government has implemented a number of initiatives to recruit and retain members of the Georgian Legion. Through these efforts, the unit has grown in size and strength and is increasingly viewed as a valuable asset by the Ukrainian government.
