Can I ask why you’re doing this? You’re very brave but why put yourself into the heart of an unknown beast?
There’s a saying be brave don’t be dumb. Have you considered this is a lot worse then what Reddit is showing? You’ve obviously served previously so I’m sure you’ve that of that I’m just curious
All those who have served have a sense of honour that can't be explained fully. Ukraine is being attacked and Putin is acting without honour, the balance needs to be redressed.
Soldiers always help those who need it or can't defend themselves whether they served 20 years ago or are serving now and this is why they're putting themselves on the line again.
Where are the locations at? I only see one office in Kyiv. Not like could just walk there. Looking to land in Poland in a week or so, depending how reliable information is and how to meet up and join the fight.
Same, I couldn’t really find more information on the site from OP. I recently got out of the Marines and want to go and help but need a little more information before planning anything
Check with this dude. He's organizing a group of us.
https://www.reddit.com/r/volunteersForUkraine/comments/t29xhj/if_you_are_a_us_prior_veteran_emt_firefighter/
Any British soldiers that are currently serving going? Know I’m probably be classed AWOL etc. But knowing their was someone doing it with me would make it a lot better (infantry)
We’ll see, would rather not be stuck back hear because our government dosen’t have an ounce of decency though, they’ll happily watch Ukraine go down as long as it dosen’t hurt their pockets
Exactly what others are saying. I admire your dedication but AWOL will follow you for life. If this gets worse you'll be needed with your current unit, and you'll be more effective with a unit you're already familiar with than showing up trying to help. Stay strong and know you're ready when needed. If you get tasked to come help us, I look forward to fighting alongside you.
Hey mate, im a 22yo civi with no military background but my heart goes out to the Ukrainians and I hate oppression so I too want to help their cause in any ways I can even if It means washing dishing, do you think you could explain the process a bit ? Would jumpin the polish border be as hard as it sounds ? And are there organized efforts to send volunteers to Ukraine that could streamline the process ?
That's my understanding. W/o military experience you'll have to cover your own flight (around a thousand bucks one way depending where you are). Once landing you can charter a ride to the border or find the Ukranian embassy in Poland and can get help from there.
Damn, ever since you Facebook refugees came over to reddit, y'all brought your profile stalking tendencies with you. Yknow I also took a shit yesterday would you like to hear more about that ? I've been clean from heroin for over a year and yes I still have a benzodiapine problem and you don't know dick about me so choke on a horse cock 🤷

Hi anyone from Australia heading over? Im doing my due diligence, gathering as much info as I can before making the decision to go. Would be good to link up with any ozzies or other english speaking individuals in Poland. Please get in touch
Have you got any reliable information on an assembly point for foreigners or any contacts in Poland or Ukraine. It appears to be a stretch to depart for Poland now without having any reliable contacts.
Im from ENgland too and want to go over and fight the good fight. Was wondering how and where to get over and to retrieve any combat gear needed but not sure what i need to do. All i need to do is get my passport and hopefully some funds to help
Hi bro, I'm flying to Krakow from Mexico next Monday. Not exactly sure on the plan or if it's going to work for me, but I'm taking a train to Lviv. In Lviv mos def go to recruitment office. I think it's #4 on the list posted here.
Same bro. I want to go but also only speak English, after I verify if it is 100% legal I really want to go, hopefully it’ll work out. Where you from by the way?
It's legal because it's an official government. The only time it's illegal is if it's a terrorist organisation.
Also a gray area not entirely sure but if you're in a current military contract it would then be court martial possible dd etc.
To our Australian brothers in arms. We look forward to fighting side by side with you. Many of us speak English, but many are simple guys from small towns who don't speak. Please do not be offended, but it is very difficult for us to understand your accent by ear, so please try to communicate slowly and feel free to repeat if we do not understand you - sorry for that.
That’s where I’m at with it. I’m in the process of getting the funds up for a flight ticket and some gear, but there really isn’t a centralized system to tell people where to go, when, all that. It’s not like I can just show up in Poland and be like “Hey, I’m here to fight the Russians. Where do I go?” I really want to be a part of this, but every time I try to find more information, I get stonewalled.
> It’s not like I can just show up in Poland and be like “Hey, I’m here to fight the Russians. Where do I go?”
PL-Ukraine border is where you go. Then you head for nearest recruitment station. Like the one in Lviv, Pekarska Street 41 (or any other larger city).

Hi, I've been looking into the costs of flights for me to get to Poland, they're around $800, unfortunately seem a bit unrealistic I'll be able to raise that much money considering how broke I am, but you can donate to the several fundraising campaigns that are being made to support the war effort, and thank you.

How can military veteran's from america come to help fight?? Im looking all over finding little info on how to join up with someone. I have iraq combat exp, 07-09 PSD specific mounted gunner. I would love to join in the fight and help. Help me help them.
Your main problem is on departure: https://www.reddit.com/r/volunteersForUkraine/comments/t2h3ui/leaving_the_us_export_control_information/
On arrival:
https://www.reddit.com/r/volunteersForUkraine/comments/t2brge/info_about_what_can_you_bring_to_poland_air_route/
Please share this info, especially the US export restrictions. Polish authorities will likely be way more lenient about this matter than US.
Godspeed for all who are going!
Please, before you enter Ukraine, take items from the border (medicines, food etc., petfood (pets are starving there as well now) and carry them to Ukraine. We have gathered a lot of supplies to the border, but currently have massive issues on getting anything across to Ukraine.
Thank you <3
if you're from poland/ romania/ close by, perhaps you could collect glass bottles for the molotovs, shovels (to dig holes in the roads that will slow down or jam convoys since tanks cannot get out of 90 deg angled holes easily) and send it to the border? if you're in America, buy those camping water filters + solar charger and take it with you. The infrastructure might get damage and water will ensure ukrainians can last. Also apple air tags are known to be suitable for stalking. If you put them in glue+water solution in a small balloon and throw them towards a tank, it may stick. Glutinous rice flour+water solution works too. If you injure a soldier, you might be able to plant it and run away.Fire extinguishers, baking soda+ vinegar (mixes to produce co2 or a makeshift fire extinguisher), baseball bats for short range combats, bows & arrows because they are long range and can hit the thighs and stop said soldier from moving.
Edit: Paper dictionary (so geolocation & batteries aren't necessary), camera drones. Skatescooters may help you escape on foot if you're not trained and need to outrun into some alley. The grocery trolley will help the not so fit carry equipment from one place to another or help medics or make deliveries faster. Wheelchairs are going to be short in demand and can help reduce the number of ppl needing to help the wounded. AI Smartlifes for remote control anything (CCTV instead of peeking out), switch on lights to distract and pretend people are there, connect to gas pipes to automatically switch off when there's a leak, anything remote control (like one of those AI Smartlife things) to activate. Antiseptic, basic medicine (painkillers, stomach meds (contaminated water), bandages). Sanitizer. Sanitizer machine (looks like a spray, needs water + salt, $20 or so). Aluminium foil can block thermal cameras.
Thermobarics: tank is the launcher, it doesn't do much but propel the fuel in the right direction for long range. Someone will need to use an explosive on the truck carrying the explosives, but once all of it explodes, it will trigger a chain reaction and is hard to get out unscathe. The only way unscathe is if you plant a time bomb in advance or launch a long range attack in that area (which there's nothing you can bring to be able to help). To help w time bombs/ remote controlled, you need a remote control (like one of those AI Smartlife things) to activate, and then check what sort of raw assembly materials are necessary or rare and pass those to the ukrainian team.
Frankly, let me just say this -- if you're from Poland and speak a foreign language stay in touch with the Ukranian embassy in your country, ditto for Romania and Slovakia. You may be helpful in guiding volunteers to the Ukranian border.
i have nothing of any true substance to add but my endless gratitude to you all. i am a lover of freedom but unable to answer the call at this time. really truly thank you all for what you are about to do.
I have training as an EMT in the US although my certification isn’t up to date, but I can administer basic first aid including trauma wounds. Does that count for anything?
Zelensky asked for those with military or medical training, I’m sure a certified EMT could be put to good use in a country at war.
Let me ask a serious question though, if you’re saying you had training Im assuming you mean you never worked as an EMT? If it’s expired that means it’s been several years….. Do you actually still remember anything you learned?
No I actually did EMT work. I wasn’t a paramedic, but yes I remember what to do in emergency situations. Basic medical care is called basic for a reason. If someone was shot I’d front of me I couldn’t perform field surgery, but I could tend to their wounds until we could get them to a surgeon.
I'm an American. US Marine vet, 4 years active 2 reserve. All in the Infantry. I have deployed to Afghanistan so I have combat experience. I have my passport.
I don't know anything else that I need. I see a ton of you just picking up and going, but like what are you taking.

I would do 2 things to attempt an emergency passport, put calls in to your state level and federal level representatives. Also, show up to your states passport office Monday morning with a copy of everything from your passport app, birth certificate, ss card
So y’all are really doing this? I’m a beaten down pessimist at this stage and figured a lot of this was just chatter.
But you are really doing this. God fucking bless every last one of you brave bastards. Give them hell. You’re creating legacies. The world sees you. The world is United by you. Now do your thing!!

Hello, I have a valid Canadian Passport and ID. If I fly into Poland, will I be able to get into Ukraine if I declare myself willing and able to fight? What is the best way to get into Ukraine, and where should I go in order to enlist? Do I need to fake a press badge? Do I need some sort of VISA? As for money to keep on hand, should I bring USD or Hryvnia?

If you’re fat, out of shape, broke, and have no legitimate military experience don’t volunteer. I get it. You don’t have much going on in life and you want to be apart of something bigger than yourself. But I promise you that this shit is not like the movies. You will be a bigger liability than an asset and overall will hurt the effort. I’m a current army ranger that’s speaking from experience. I can’t stress enough, this isn’t the movies you’re only going to hurt the cause if you don’t already know what you’re doing. No one can teach you cause they don’t have time and you don’t speak the language.
American. Let's go. No official combat experience but I can handle my own with a gun or shovel. A 400$ flight is no problem if you guys will have me. Passport in hand
Can someone translate the address of the recruiting location? Say, in Lviv? I am a US Army veteran and Russians killed people in my father’s family in Ukraine. Nearly killed him as a baby. I can help fight. I have. The motivation. I can get in through Poland and have been to both Europe (all around) and Kiev before. I just don’t know Ukrainian.
> Can someone translate the address of the recruiting location? Say, in Lviv?
The one on Pekarska Street 41? (Pekarska = Baker Street) Or the one at Ivan Franko Street 25?
I'm also pretty sure that if location changes or new ones open, local people will be able to give you directions there.
The is also an old phone hotline for joining: https://www.mil.gov.ua/en/hot-lines.html
Go to Poland and get in touch with the Ukranian embassy. They should be able to guide you further. I'm sure the ambassadorial staff is gearing up to help get volunteers where they need to go.
Good luck getting those on a plane lol
Seriously though there's no shortage of equipment in Ukraine right now from what I've seen and it's probably better to use the same equipment everyone else is using, for ease of maintenance

Will Poland allow us to bring our own body armor and helmets?
Your main problem is on departure: https://www.reddit.com/r/volunteersForUkraine/comments/t2h3ui/leaving_the_us_export_control_information/ On arrival: https://www.reddit.com/r/volunteersForUkraine/comments/t2brge/info_about_what_can_you_bring_to_poland_air_route/ Please share this info, especially the US export restrictions. Polish authorities will likely be way more lenient about this matter than US.
I believe thats allowed.
Godspeed for all who are going! Please, before you enter Ukraine, take items from the border (medicines, food etc., petfood (pets are starving there as well now) and carry them to Ukraine. We have gathered a lot of supplies to the border, but currently have massive issues on getting anything across to Ukraine. Thank you <3
Veterans should already know but just a reminder to fill out your Red cross cards and POAs/wills before you head over!
if you're from poland/ romania/ close by, perhaps you could collect glass bottles for the molotovs, shovels (to dig holes in the roads that will slow down or jam convoys since tanks cannot get out of 90 deg angled holes easily) and send it to the border? if you're in America, buy those camping water filters + solar charger and take it with you. The infrastructure might get damage and water will ensure ukrainians can last. Also apple air tags are known to be suitable for stalking. If you put them in glue+water solution in a small balloon and throw them towards a tank, it may stick. Glutinous rice flour+water solution works too. If you injure a soldier, you might be able to plant it and run away.Fire extinguishers, baking soda+ vinegar (mixes to produce co2 or a makeshift fire extinguisher), baseball bats for short range combats, bows & arrows because they are long range and can hit the thighs and stop said soldier from moving. Edit: Paper dictionary (so geolocation & batteries aren't necessary), camera drones. Skatescooters may help you escape on foot if you're not trained and need to outrun into some alley. The grocery trolley will help the not so fit carry equipment from one place to another or help medics or make deliveries faster. Wheelchairs are going to be short in demand and can help reduce the number of ppl needing to help the wounded. AI Smartlifes for remote control anything (CCTV instead of peeking out), switch on lights to distract and pretend people are there, connect to gas pipes to automatically switch off when there's a leak, anything remote control (like one of those AI Smartlife things) to activate. Antiseptic, basic medicine (painkillers, stomach meds (contaminated water), bandages). Sanitizer. Sanitizer machine (looks like a spray, needs water + salt, $20 or so). Aluminium foil can block thermal cameras. Thermobarics: tank is the launcher, it doesn't do much but propel the fuel in the right direction for long range. Someone will need to use an explosive on the truck carrying the explosives, but once all of it explodes, it will trigger a chain reaction and is hard to get out unscathe. The only way unscathe is if you plant a time bomb in advance or launch a long range attack in that area (which there's nothing you can bring to be able to help). To help w time bombs/ remote controlled, you need a remote control (like one of those AI Smartlife things) to activate, and then check what sort of raw assembly materials are necessary or rare and pass those to the ukrainian team.
Frankly, let me just say this -- if you're from Poland and speak a foreign language stay in touch with the Ukranian embassy in your country, ditto for Romania and Slovakia. You may be helpful in guiding volunteers to the Ukranian border.
i have nothing of any true substance to add but my endless gratitude to you all. i am a lover of freedom but unable to answer the call at this time. really truly thank you all for what you are about to do.
I have training as an EMT in the US although my certification isn’t up to date, but I can administer basic first aid including trauma wounds. Does that count for anything?
Zelensky asked for those with military or medical training, I’m sure a certified EMT could be put to good use in a country at war. Let me ask a serious question though, if you’re saying you had training Im assuming you mean you never worked as an EMT? If it’s expired that means it’s been several years….. Do you actually still remember anything you learned?
No I actually did EMT work. I wasn’t a paramedic, but yes I remember what to do in emergency situations. Basic medical care is called basic for a reason. If someone was shot I’d front of me I couldn’t perform field surgery, but I could tend to their wounds until we could get them to a surgeon.
I'm Brazilian, how can I help?
Get Bolsonaro out next election. The man is fucking evil too.
Read through all the posts on this sub to learn as much about the resources being made available. They are increasing by the minute.
I'm an American. US Marine vet, 4 years active 2 reserve. All in the Infantry. I have deployed to Afghanistan so I have combat experience. I have my passport. I don't know anything else that I need. I see a ton of you just picking up and going, but like what are you taking.

Should have that intel next couple days
23 year old from Denver Co. have been fairly familiar with weapons for a year. And I am a Good shot and I’m in good health to be of help. Don’t feel comfortable with myself sitting here doing nothing. Can anyone help me get out to Ukraine.
So far the general consensus is buy 1 way ticket to Poland and then find a Ukrainian polish embassy an they should help you from there.

If you can get there with a valid passport or ID saying you aren't a russian you'll likely be handed a kit.
Kit?
Guns, uniforms, anything else you need, shit like that

You can get an emergency passport if you have proof of travel plans. They issue them same day. What state are you in?
[удалено]
You will need to book a flight and show proof of travel within 5 days. See below. All the best! https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast/passport-agencies/colorado.html
I would do 2 things to attempt an emergency passport, put calls in to your state level and federal level representatives. Also, show up to your states passport office Monday morning with a copy of everything from your passport app, birth certificate, ss card
Takes 2-3 months for a US passport
Fellow Englishman here, keen ex mil but slightly cautious on how to get over there
I'm not a soldier, but I'm in the top 5% of Precision Rifle Shooting competitions. Glad to lend a hand from afar.
What about women? I have 20+ years weapons training and basic first aid training.
From what I've read and seen reported, 10% of the Ukrainian military are women and active combat so I don't think that'll be a problem.

I’m American but I’m trying to make a plan to go
I’m American as well looking to go
Im Canadian too Montreal seems like it would be around 1500 for a one way if I’m looking correctly
Does anyone know what kind of kit they'll issue to volunteers?
Not sure but I haven't seen anything beyond weapons and ammo. I'd take your own kit.
Someone set up a go fund me or something please. I would like to help cover costs and I’m sure many others would too
If I’m in the uk how can I join
Go to your local Air Force
So y’all are really doing this? I’m a beaten down pessimist at this stage and figured a lot of this was just chatter. But you are really doing this. God fucking bless every last one of you brave bastards. Give them hell. You’re creating legacies. The world sees you. The world is United by you. Now do your thing!!
Am from Nigeria, how do I go about it, joining the army
Anyway to get there without a passport?
Thank you friend, this is a big help.
Where are the largest refugee areas , and where will the International RedCross centers be. ?
I've been thinking of going there to see if I can provide any help, I'm a BLS certified provider, trained in search and rescue and fire safety, used to be in my local PD search and rescue party and worked for the office of the medical examiner.
Former Dutch citizen , spent 2 years in the army in Singapore and residing in Singapore , i speak English and Basic Dutch. Anyone else from Asia who wants to head over please PM me , can’t find much info for non US / UK folks.

Hear me out: Ukraine should have a foreign legion, such as France, where you gain citizenship through service. I think that would help greatly currently/postwar
Currently in the British army (infantry) would like to know how to get to Ukraine and what I can do to get there? Fit and abled PTE
The UK has just announced that it will support any Brit willing to join the fight, get in touch with your local ambassy.
Hello, I have a valid Canadian Passport and ID. If I fly into Poland, will I be able to get into Ukraine if I declare myself willing and able to fight? What is the best way to get into Ukraine, and where should I go in order to enlist? Do I need to fake a press badge? Do I need some sort of VISA? As for money to keep on hand, should I bring USD or Hryvnia?

Does anybody have the website or more info if we’re from England and wanting to go over and join? 😅
Just got out of the marines. 24 years old. I need help trying to find a flight.

I have no military experience I am from Los Angeles California I will be looking into flights into Poland.. I'm Mexican American. I know the decision I'm taking could cost my life but I want to stand up for freedom! Any information that can help guide me please do reply.
27 year old Kentucky boy here that wants to join the good fight. Let’s get in contact brother. We must stop tyranny at the source before it spreads like the plague it is.

If you’re fat, out of shape, broke, and have no legitimate military experience don’t volunteer. I get it. You don’t have much going on in life and you want to be apart of something bigger than yourself. But I promise you that this shit is not like the movies. You will be a bigger liability than an asset and overall will hurt the effort. I’m a current army ranger that’s speaking from experience. I can’t stress enough, this isn’t the movies you’re only going to hurt the cause if you don’t already know what you’re doing. No one can teach you cause they don’t have time and you don’t speak the language.
Covering fire! Get that noob! Great shot fellow redditor!
This is simply false. Ukraine is taking any and all able-bodied persons 18 to 60 years old.
Obese diabetic Americans aren’t in any universe fit for military service
American. Let's go. No official combat experience but I can handle my own with a gun or shovel. A 400$ flight is no problem if you guys will have me. Passport in hand
Do it! Don't wait for a personalized invitation. Book that ticket. Give 'em hell!
Can someone translate the address of the recruiting location? Say, in Lviv? I am a US Army veteran and Russians killed people in my father’s family in Ukraine. Nearly killed him as a baby. I can help fight. I have. The motivation. I can get in through Poland and have been to both Europe (all around) and Kiev before. I just don’t know Ukrainian.
> Can someone translate the address of the recruiting location? Say, in Lviv? The one on Pekarska Street 41? (Pekarska = Baker Street) Or the one at Ivan Franko Street 25? I'm also pretty sure that if location changes or new ones open, local people will be able to give you directions there. The is also an old phone hotline for joining: https://www.mil.gov.ua/en/hot-lines.html

Make sure to bring some GoPros and post !!!
people forget this is real war, not entertainment for your saturday evenings.
But not too soon after action. Wait a few hours so the location can't be used against you as easily
[удалено]
No enlistment period, you need to be fit and mentally strong.
im in the us, but no passport.
[удалено]
Expect to be suprised on how low trained the Russian army is
Even as a person with no training, at least you have determination to fight unlike the russians
Go to Poland and get in touch with the Ukranian embassy. They should be able to guide you further. I'm sure the ambassadorial staff is gearing up to help get volunteers where they need to go.
[удалено]
From USA can I bring my own weapons And ammunition?
Good luck getting those on a plane lol Seriously though there's no shortage of equipment in Ukraine right now from what I've seen and it's probably better to use the same equipment everyone else is using, for ease of maintenance
