I am a medical instructor in the 4th International Legion. My service is to prepare soldiers for combat medicine before they go into battle. We also train combat medics for the front line. My main task is to help those who go to the front line learn about medicine so that they can not only destroy the enemy, but also save lives - their own and those of their comrades.

I am also a translator in the 4th International, because I can translate from Ukrainian to Spanish.

I want to say that we received very good equipment, and it was a pleasant surprise for us. Depending on what combat work you will perform, you will be given certain equipment. If it is an assault group, then it is one thing, if it is defense, then another, but the equipment is very good. Here no one plays with lives, and everyone is very serious about not losing people. In this sense, Ukraine has a lot to offer other countries, including Europe.

The experience that Ukraine gained in this war is unforgettable and incomparable with previous wars in Iraq, Afghanistan or Colombia, where there were no drones and so many mines. Here it is a combination of almost all previous wars, and the equipment continues to adapt depending on the situation on the front. Here, the officers taught us this from the very beginning. I had previous military experience, so it was easier for me to adapt.

Military training in Ukraine meets NATO standards, but is better adapted to modern warfare.
