Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of Ukrainian military awards.

 

I have a question. I have a family member who's currently serving with the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine. What medals or awards might he be eligible for? The medal for military service to Ukraine?

Hi. The medal for military service to Ukraine it's something like US Bronze Star. I would say he will receive Medal "For the Defense of Ukraine", after the war it can be some commemorative medal, maybe will be established special medal for volunteers, I don't know yet.
