Before anyone starts to flame me or say im lying. Please read through the text. Since this is the story of why i turned around at the border and lessons learned. If my situation was different i would still go! The recruiter told me the contract was in English, but also that it lasted until "the end of the war" whatever that means in technical terms. However, i have sick parents and asked them if something happened to them could i then leave? But that question our contact could not answer. Therefor i choose to drop the project. Additionally, several of the people i saw had tattoos. Which is by itself not a issue. But when there are civilians volunteering with skull tattoos on their neck and knuckle tattoos. Some alarms should go off. Therefor i would presume some of these people will go to right/left extremist groups who are know for extreme violence. This leads me to a warning!!! If joining do it trough the ONLY official way the Ukrainian Embassy / Consulates. If you end up with some extremist groups by accident, since you linked up with some strangers on the internet. It WILL have dire consequences for you later in life. Right now im sitting a 5 minut walk from the the border, waiting for transport home. I feel a bit like a coward for turning down my mission. But i simply can't ignore the fact if my parents gets worse i will not be able to help them. |
