What to take with you on your trip to Ukraine – a reminder for a volunteer
The luggage you need to take with you on a trip to Ukraine should not be bulky. To avoid additional costs for transporting unnecessary items, remember that the hand luggage that you can take with you into the cabin of the plane is limited to a maximum of 10 kilograms. It will be optimal to put things in a backpack.
Keep in mind that upon arrival at the military unit and enrollment in the unit, you will be given all the necessary equipment. You will receive from several jackets and boots to several sets of underwear and socks, depending on the summer or winter season.
Therefore, when traveling to Ukraine, you should put in your backpack:
- two T-shirts,
- four pairs of underwear,
- two pairs of socks,
- spare pants,
- a warm sweater or jacket.
It is also worth taking a spare pair of closed comfortable shoes. Sneakers are best suited. Don't forget about personal hygiene products.
Ukraine is a developed country where you can find and buy everything you need at reasonable prices.
The main thing is to remember to bring the documents and necessary things that you should always have with you:
- passport,
- travel tickets,
- printed invitation letter to the Armed Forces of Ukraine,
- mobile phone and portable charger.
Also take a certain amount of cash in euros or US dollars, preferably in small bills.
We wish you all a good trip and welcome to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Glory to Ukraine!
