"I realized there was no other option..." A Czech volunteer and our friend who enlisted in the Ukrainian army in 2025 and underwent training at a training center in northern Ukraine.
"Ukrainian training is tough in itself, especially in winter. Most of the training takes place outdoors and there are few opportunities to warm up. We heard russian drones (Shahed/Geran) every few days. The goal of the training: TO BECOME STRONG. And also to learn to think about your own safety."
"The basic function of a man is to protect his loved ones," said one of the instructors, who fought from 2022 until he was wounded. He trains both volunteers and mobilized men in their fifties. Not everyone wants to fight, but no one here can imagine Ukraine being occupied by russia.
Who will you help?
The goal is to purchase a van for a military training center in northern Ukraine.
„Due to a drone attack several months ago, the training center had to move to the forest—all recruits live underground, water is brought in, electricity is generated by a generator, and wood is used for heating. It's like the partisans who fought the enemy on both sides in similar places 80-90 years ago. Sub-zero temperatures, the threat of another attack, complicated supplies..."
In this provisional situation, instructors are trying to prepare volunteer recruits and mobilized Ukrainians for service on the front lines. They have 52 days to do so, which is just enough time to cover the necessary basics.
Soldiers must take care of themselves during training, helping with many necessary tasks.
Everything needed is brought to the center from the village or nearby town. This requires a delivery van, which is currently missing, as it was destroyed during an attack on the center's original location.
