Answers to the most important questions:

Question: Is it necessary to have military training and experience?
Answer: At this point, it’s better that you have at least training and preferably experience.

Question: What documents do I need to enlist?
Answer: Only a passport is required. If you have any noteworthy documents about your military experience and/or rank, take them too.

Question: Do I have to be vaccinated against COVID-19?
Answer: Yes, you need to be fully vaccinated. Otherwise, you can be denied entry to the country.

Question: For how long do I have to be in Ukraine?
Answer: It depends on the conditions of your contract. Please read it carefully before signing. One would prefer the condition “until martial law is lifted” as the most rational.

Question: Can I take any equipment with me?
Answer: Yes, but if you are going to travel to Ukraine by regular transport, take only things that would pass security checks.

Question: Will they give me weapons and equipment?
Answer: Yes, you will get weapons and body armor. Of weapons, there are mostly rifles.

Question: Will I be paid?
Answer: No, but obviously you will get supplies and accommodation.

Question: Do I need to know the Ukrainian or Russian language?
Answer: It is not required, but would be helpful. If you know any of the western Slavic languages (Polish, Chech, Slovak), you won’t have problems understanding the Ukrainian language, and Ukrainians will likely understand you too. If you are unfamiliar with any western or eastern Slavic languages, they will try to put you into a division with people of your language.

Question: Are there any age requirements?
Answer: You must be over 18 and be fully capable of fighting.

Great Britain, France, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Japan and of course Georgia - people of those beautiful countries and many others have already accepted the Ukrainian call to arms!

“We have already received several thousand applications from foreign citizens who wish to join the resistance against the Russian invaders and protect the world security from the Putin’s regime" - said Hanna Maliar, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine on Facebook.

Russia has roughly 3 million armed forces of different types and thousands of vehicles and aircraft units. Moreover, Russian people are badly skilled at opposing their government’s terrible decisions and can be easily forced into the army. Nobody knows how much more atrocities are to be performed before Russia loses.

That’s why the world needs not just several thousand, but hundreds of thousands of heroes who will save Europe from the new global threat. Ukraine is not the first but it has to become the last victim of Russian aggression.

Ukraine calls volunteers to arms!

On 24 February, Russia has ruthlessly invaded Ukraine, breaking all the international laws. Every day Russian invaders commit tens of war crimes: bombing and shelling civil objects, killing and injuring civilians, women, and children.

Ukrainian Armed Forces are carrying on their resistance to the invasion from the world’s biggest country. Most of the world’s countries have taken the Ukrainian side and provided it with strong support, but they can’t send their troops to fight overtly. So injustice and bloodshed are still taking place in Europe.

Ukraine’s leaders have created the International Legion for those willing to side with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and stop the spread of violence. They are calling for people with military training and experience to join them to protect innocent people from Russian war criminals.

This page is created to reach the people willing to fight the newest world threat. It is also important to provide them with information on how they can join the International Legion of Ukraine.

If you want to help us with this, this is what you can do:
- Leave a link to some military/veteran/arms owner community or group in your country;
- If you live in a city with a Ukrainian embassy, please leave a comment about it, and we may contact you eventually;
- If you can create a group for volunteers from your country in your language - create it and send us a link;
- Spread the call all over the world in any way!
