Ukrainian veterans in Poland prepare to re-enlist as Russia tensions mount
WROCLAW, Poland (Reuters) - Dmytro Dovzhenko, 40, has been living in Poland with his wife and two children since 2019, running a business handling anything from hairdressing to beauty to food.
But he still wears a large signet ring with the inscription "Loyal forever" from his military marine unit back home in Ukraine. And, if Russia invades his home country, he will report for military duty, ready to fight, as soon as he can.
"If there's a war, a battle... I only need 24 hours. Within 24 hours, I'm back in the military," Dovzhenko, who is from the central Ukrainian city of Poltava, told Reuters from his home in Wroclaw, a city in western Poland.
Washington has said Russia, which has more than 100,000 troops massed near Ukraine, could invade at any moment. Moscow denies having any such plans.
