Something to consider:

MOSCOW, March 3. /TASS/. None of the mercenaries the West is sending to Ukraine to fight for the nationalist regime will enjoy the right of combatants under international humanitarian law, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.

“I wish to make an official statement that none of the mercenaries the West is sending to Ukraine to fight for the nationalist regime in Kiev can be considered as combatants in accordance with international humanitarian law or enjoy the status of prisoners of war,” Konashenkov stressed.

He warned that all foreign mercenaries, detained in Ukraine, would be brought to justice on criminal charges.

Would their status be secure if they enlisted in the Ukraine army and were wearing a Ukraine military uniform?
