After a brief search, this appears to be true. With the caveat the ultimate source seems to be Zelensky himself. The articles I surveyed all referenced interviews and speeches of Zelensky.
Honestly, the only part I wouldn’t trust is the idea the men willingly joined instead of being drafted. I’m pretty sure most Eastern European men can trace their family back to fighting Nazis, except for the ones who were Nazis.

If you had a pulse time to be in the war effort in some capacity.
Thank you. Everyone here automatically assuming it’s true, because they want it to be, as usual.
So, may well be fact, take with a grain of salt.
