Shares his view of Ukraine, its people and army — and the reality he faced after arriving on the battlefield.
Thousands of people across the globe have already chosen to become world heroes and serve as a crucial link in the chain of world history, rather than drifting aimlessly through life without purpose.
Everything is agreed in advance — conditions, terms and support — so you can focus on what matters.
The world’s highest front-line pay: from $7,200 a month, up to $11,100, under the 2026 contracts — the same for foreigners as for Ukrainians.
Safe, official agreement providing stability and clear terms.
Full guidance at every stage, with answers to any questions you may have.
A reliable, high-performing environment of like-minded individuals.
No regular army pays its infantry this much. Since June 2026 Ukraine’s Defence Forces pay by the day spent in combat. These are the baseline figures — the Legion’s units under Defence Intelligence may offer more. Your exact terms are confirmed by the recruiter.
Paid to every contract soldier, regardless of position.
$240 on combat positions · $480 strike-and-search · $960 assault operations. Paid on top of the base.
Frontline infantry average. Up to $11,100 a month in assault units.

Real work is not a movie. It is a team, a plan and a clear task — carried out together. See how legionnaires prepare, operate and look after each other, from the training ground to the line.

It is a strong advantage and speeds things up. Candidates without it are considered individually — tell us honestly in the form, and the recruiter will discuss your options.
English is the working language of the Legion. Ukrainian is not required. Spanish, Portuguese, French speakers and others serve alongside each other — as Mars says, “Spanish speakers, English speakers — we’re all fine.” Hear Mars on this ›
Yes. Legionnaires sign an official contract and have the same status, pay and social guarantees as Ukrainian servicemen. Under the 2026 contracts pay is counted by the day: a base of about $480 a month plus $240–960 for every day in combat — frontline infantry averages from $7,200 a month, up to $11,100 — the highest front-line pay of any army today. These are the baseline figures; Legion units under Defence Intelligence may offer more. Exact terms are confirmed by the recruiter before you sign anything.
After the recruiter confirms your application, you travel to Ukraine and go through the recruitment centre there. The recruiter explains the route, entry requirements for your nationality and what documents to bring.
Yes. Every legionnaire goes through training before deployment — weapons, tactics, medical basics and working as part of a unit. Modern warfare is a craft; it is taught, not assumed. And the teachers are good: in 2025–2026 Ukrainian drone teams defeated NATO units in exercises in Estonia, Germany and Sweden.
Yes, on defined terms. Under current Ukrainian law a foreign contract soldier may end the contract after six months, and the 2026 contracts come with a guaranteed discharge on completion. You see the exact terms in full before signing — nobody is held in the Legion against the contract.
A recruiter contacts you on WhatsApp or by phone, usually within a few days. First a conversation about you and your experience, then the details — terms, timing, documents. Submitting the form is not a commitment.
