INFANTRYMAN / RIFLEMAN
Join an international infantry company within the 112th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade.
We are forming an international rifle company for foreign volunteers — trained by experienced Ukrainian officers, equipped to modern standards, and backed by full recruitment support from your first call to your arrival in Ukraine.
Contracted Serviceman — Not a Mercenary
By signing an official contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, you become a regular contracted serviceman, incorporated into the unit's chain of command — not a mercenary. This distinction matters under international humanitarian law (Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, Art. 47): official contracted service carries combatant protections that mercenary status does not.
You receive: a written contract, an official military ID, a formal position, and the same legal protections as any other Ukrainian serviceman.
