Costa
Volunteer from Colombia
In Colombia I served in the army for 7 years, and then I came to Ukraine. I have been here for about a year, serving in the Marine Corps.
The Ukrainian army has very good training – a bit different than in the Colombian one, but very good.
I really enjoy communicating with Ukrainians. I learn a lot from them, I have made good friends here. In the two units where I served, I made friends with many Ukrainians. There is great respect between foreign volunteers and Ukrainians. I learned a lot in the Ukrainian army. I gained a wonderful experience in Ukraine, which opens many doors for me.
I served in a combat unit of the Marine Corps for about eight months. Now I want to rest a little and I intend to continue serving in a new unit. I would like to stay in Ukraine.
I also like to cook, and I had an interesting culinary experience in Ukraine. Some Ukrainian dishes are very tasty. Ukrainian borscht is very tasty.
