President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a law allowing Ukraine's Armed Forces to be sent abroad during martial law, according to an official decree published on March 17.

The law aims to enhance defense cooperation with partner nations, particularly by enabling Ukrainian forces to participate in training and receive military equipment, lawmaker Oleksii Honcharenko explained.

I could have sworn they were already participating in foreign training and receiving foreign military equipment for a long time now

Didn't Ukraine eliminate Wagner operatives in Africa, receive training in the US and Europe?

They have. Didn't read the article, but I'd guess it's just a matter that the common practise is now written into a law and it makes things simpler to manage in the future. Not a big deal, this kind of things happen all the time, just not that often regarding martial laws.

There was nothing additional that made this newsworthy?

Not that I know of. That's sort of a big deal politically, but doesn't really change anything which has been going on for the last few years.
