DEFEND FREEDOM & JOIN THE BRAVE
A STRONG ALLIANCE IS BUILT ONE VOLUNTEER AT A TIME.
WHO WE ARE
The ILDU Auxiliary Unit (USA) stands as the official American partner to the International Legion of Defence of Ukraine. We support U.S. citizens who choose to serve or stand alongside Ukraine’s defenders—amplifying their voices, sharing their stories, and building community around one shared cause: freedom.
Whether you're a volunteer, a veteran, or simply someone who believes in democracy over tyranny—you're part of this mission. Through education, media, and support, we make sure American involvement counts.
CALLED TO STAND WITH URKAINE
Get an unfiltered, boots-on-the-ground look at what it’s really like to fight alongside the International Legion of Defence of Ukraine. In this exclusive interview, American volunteers explain the brutal reality of combat, the tactics used by Russian forces, and what drives them to risk everything for freedom in a country not their own.
"This isn’t about politics—it’s about people. And choosing to stand up when others are suffering."

INSIDE THE MISSION
Get a raw, human look at what it means to leave home and serve abroad—not for glory, but for justice. These are the stories of Americans who joined the International Legion of Defence of Ukraine (ILDU) and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine’s defenders.
