An instructor from Ukraine’s International Legion shares insights on training foreign volunteers.

In 2022, a soldier named Dark arrived in Ukraine to help in the fight for freedom. After 11 years of service in his country’s army, carrying out coastal security tasks and operating in high-risk zones, he decided to pass on his experience to new fighters.

"I started with humanitarian aid, then trained Ukrainian and foreign soldiers, and also fought on the front lines. I was seriously wounded, but after recovery, I returned to train volunteers ready to defend Ukraine," – says Dark.

How Are Volunteers Trained?

The International Legion of Ukraine conducts training for both experienced soldiers and beginners. Regardless of skill level, each volunteer undergoes a comprehensive program, including:

💪 Basic Military Training, led by Dark:

✔ Discipline, physical fitness, small unit tactics

✔ Shooting fundamentals: weapon handling, accuracy, and speed

✔ Tactical operations: flanking maneuvers, defense, trench warfare, CQB (urban combat)

Why Join Ukraine’s Defense Forces?

This conflict is unlike any other in modern history. Ukrainian forces adapt quickly, using the latest tactics and technologies. Every volunteer strengthens the army and brings victory closer.
