Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has called on Ukrainians who left Ukraine during the war to return and help defend their homeland. He said this in an interview with The Irish Times.

"We respect the individual choice of each person, but we also call on all Ukrainians who have left the country since the beginning of the full-scale invasion to consider returning home," Kuleba said.

According to the minister, he understands that some people may not be able to return due to health or other circumstances.

"But those who have a choice, we invite them to return and help Ukraine fight and survive with their direct personal contribution," the Foreign Minister added.

It is worth noting that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, more than 6 million citizens have left Ukraine.
