Ukraine's International Defense Legions are being integrated into the Ground Forces, enhancing their capability with improved weapons and military equipment. This change provides access to unmanned systems, artillery, and aerial reconnaissance without diminishing the legions' operational status.

Personnel will continue their missions in the same regions but with greater support and opportunities for retraining as needed. As of December 2025, four international battalions are part of this plan, with one serving as a training center for foreign recruits. The integration is intended to strengthen combat resilience and allow foreign volunteers to recruit new members.
