Volunteer from Peru
Luis "Fighter", Peruvian volunteer
I went from Peru to Spain, from Spain to Poland, and from Poland to Ukraine. In Peru I worked as a security guard in Lima, and in Ukraine I became a professional soldier.
In Ukraine, we were trained for a month - both how to fight and tactical medicine. We mastered the most modern weapons and military equipment. Ukrainian officers shared their combat experience with us. They are very attentive and answered our various questions.
The Ukrainian army pays good money, as well as free support, including medical. We were provided with everything we needed, even socks. We lacked nothing, and as for food, we even had fruit. But it is no less important for me that I fight for democracy and against injustice, when a large country attacks a smaller one.
I invite South Americans to go defend Ukraine. This is a good, but at the same time risky service. Therefore, those who primarily want to appear impressively on TikTok should not go here.
