The Ukrainian Army Offers Top-Level Training and Support – Says Colombian Volunteer "Chestnut Brown"
Jaime Andrés Pérez Parra, a volunteer from Colombia (callsign Chestnut Brown), served in an assault unit of the Ukrainian Marine Corps. He made a long journey from Colombia to Ukraine, where he first underwent intensive military training.
“I trained for five months and learned everything about assault, ambush, reconnaissance, and retreat. I trained with NATO instructors,” he shares.
“Chestnut” fought on the Kursk front and is currently awaiting transfer to another combat unit. He speaks highly of the training and combat experience gained in Ukraine and is very satisfied with the weapons, gear, and overall support provided by the Ukrainian military.
“Chestnut Brown” encourages foreign volunteers to come to Ukraine and fight against the Russian invasion, but emphasizes the importance of being physically and mentally prepared for combat.
