Ukraine war: how underground US groups are mobilising army, medical volunteers to take on Russia
- An American has created a Google document with information ranging from how to enlist in the Ukrainian army to an alphabetical packing list
- He is among a network of organisers that are creating underground pipelines of military, medical and other volunteers for Ukraine
They are among organisers from three US online networks Reuters spoke to this week that are creating underground pipelines of military, medical and other volunteers for Ukraine.
The networks are part of organised efforts to mobilise hundreds of North Americans prepared to fight for Ukraine, as well as thousands of other people across the globe.
“You can learn a few words and phrases that may potentially save your life,” said the former army linguist, who identified himself as Tex and was compiling terms in Ukrainian and Russian for combat or in the event of capture.
The linguist’s training group is helping military veterans brush up on skills like first aid or marksmanship. Most instruction is online. Some units do physical training together, he said.
