Doing your part for Ukraine

Klamath County— The Russian military began invading Ukraine on February 24th, 2022. The invasion is causing human suffering in the country and Ukrainian people are seeking help from the global community.

Many civilians are being killed every day in the attacks and residents are seeking shelter for safety. Many people had to flee the country for their safety. It’s a moment of crisis for the Ukrainian people and together we can help them.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has created “The International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine.”

Here’s what veterans, other U.S. citizens or anyone else interested in helping out, need to know.

1. Apply to the Embassy of Ukraine in your country with the intention of joining the Foreign Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine (ask a military diplomat or consul for details). Applicants can visit the Embassy in person, call or send an email to start the process.

2. Get your documents in order. This includes an ID, a passport to travel abroad, documents confirming military service or work with law enforcement agencies and participation in combat.

3 Arrive at the embassy with documents for an interview with the defense attaché and the settlement of any visa issues with the consul.

4. Write an application for enlistment in the Territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for military service under a contract on a voluntary basis. (This is in addition to Step 1.)

5. Receive instructions on how to arrive in Ukraine and what to bring. Military clothing, equipment, helmet, body armor, combat gloves, tactical glasses, belts and vests are recommended. “It is not obligatory,” the official said, “but a foreign soldier in his national uniform looks good for the International Legion.”

6. Go to Ukraine in an organized manner. Representatives of Ukrainian embassies, consulates (abroad) and Territorial Defense in Ukraine will provide assistance on the way. Contacts will be provided at the Embassy of Ukraine in your country.
