On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a military attack on Ukraine. In the first few days of the hostilities, the Russian army has conducted attacks on the civilian population and infrastructure. Civilians are dying each day due to Russia's acts of aggression against Ukraine.

Ukrainians have already demonstrated their courage and strength in defending their homeland, Europe, and our common civilizational values. This is not just an invasion of Ukraine by Russia, but a start of a war against the entire Europe.

President Zelensky has created the International Legion of Ukraine, consisting of foreign citizens wishing to join the resistance against the Russian occupants and fight for global security. As an Army veteran that served in the Iraq war, this is something I feel I can contribute to due to my prior military experience and combat training.
