I will not return home until we achieve the goal for which we gathered here – to protect the people of Ukraine from russian aggression. And we will win.

I have been in Ukraine since the beginning of 2024. I first learned about the russian aggression against Ukraine from the news and soon from friends who came here earlier. They told me exactly what was happening here and what the situation was. And that is why I decided to come to Ukraine of my own free will to fight against injustice.

From the moment I joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I was directly accompanied in terms of documentation and training. From the Recruiting Center to the first training unit, we were accompanied by translators who instructed us how to properly formalize everything, how to get the necessary help. During the exercises, we were instructed how to do everything correctly and safely. Issues of armament and medical support were always accompanied by a translator – from the simplest question to the most serious.

Here I met many people whom I did not know before, but from the moment of our first contact they became like a second family to me. From the very beginning I have had full support and all kinds of help here. Despite the fact that we are not blood relatives – we are like one big family. We speak Spanish, Portuguese, English, Ukrainian. But over time you will be able to communicate well and understand each other without the need for an interpreter. Regardless of nationality, we are here to protect this beautiful country from injustice. We categorically do not accept the injustice that the Russians are doing against the Ukrainian people.

For those who want to come to Ukraine, I advise you, first of all, to talk openly about it with your families. Even if it will be a difficult and tense conversation – still talk openly with your family about what you are doing. They should know about all the risks.

Another piece of advice from me – always try to be calm and maintain a good mood. Thanks to this, you will be able to stay balanced every day, have good physical training, have good conversations. This will allow you to have good relationships with others and work well every day.

Now I give my all to this country and the Ukrainian army to protect the Ukrainians and win. I am here body and soul, and as I said, I will not return until we truly achieve our goal. With this goal, we will stay here, and we will win.

Come and support Ukraine! Together we will win this war.

Glory to Ukraine!
