WE ARE READY FOR THE NATIONAL OPPOSITION

About us
During the four centuries of war that russia is waging against the Ukrainians, the russians believed in their own myth about our similarity. They thought that just like them, we do not care about the lives of our children, that we, like them, do not care about our home, that for us, like for them, the country is a set of empty slogans.

Since February 24, 2022, the resistance of Ukrainians, their fighting spirit and readiness to defend their home, their land, their identity have become the strongest weapon that restrained the enemy and surprised the world.
The Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine became the embodiment of the reincarnation and reforging of entrepreneurs, teachers, farmers, and IT workers into soldiers. Having accepted more than 100,000 Ukrainians into our ranks in a few weeks, we had to quickly learn how and why to train the new fighters.

Our experience is unique and we want it to be available to as many people as possible.
