Zelenskyy Issues New Law Allowing All Ukrainian Citizens To Possess Arms

Zelenskyy Issues New Law Allowing All Ukrainian Citizens To

Civilians in Ukraine are allowed to open fire on troops identifiable as hostile forces under a new law that went into effect this week.

The Daily Sabah said that according to the law, foreigners living legally in the country can also obtain weapons and use them against Russian soldiers involved in the ongoing attack on Ukraine.

Issuance of weapons will be regulated by the Interior Ministry and any weapons and leftover ammunition issued are to be returned no later than 10 days after the end of the martial law currently in force.

The Kremlin criticized the permission now granted and the Kremlin's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said; "If someone with a weapon in his hand attacks a Russian soldier, then he also becomes a target."

In the first days of the war, assault rifles and ammunition had already been issued indiscriminately, and most especially in Kyiv – the capital of Ukraine where Russian forces have surrounded with full force.
