While prior military experience is preferred, it is not mandatory. There are few age restrictions but those under 23 will generally not be accepted without prior service. Ukraine needs mature, willing, and able soldiers. Civilian experience in the above or related fields will be considered as well.

Full kit will be provided, along with several months of training. We value life and will not send you unprepared into a meat grinder. Many of our fighters are on this sub, and willing to answer general questions. For specifics and instructions how to securely apply send a DM.
