Signs of a scammer
- asks for money for enlistment, a transfer, a “fast” position, a deferral or documents
- promises a specific place of service “for sure” and a payment before the contract is signed
- writes from a new account or a channel that is not in the list above
- asks for a passport photo, an SMS code, bank details or to open an unknown link
- offers a “quick” route around the military medical commission and the territorial recruitment centre
- pushes you: “today only”, “places are running out”
What we never do
- we never ask for money — not for enlistment, a position or documents
- we never promise a specific place of service before a call with a recruiter
- we never require documents in a messenger before the interview
- we never write from personal accounts that are not in the list of official channels

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the brigade have its own website?
This website is official. Check any other site that calls itself the brigade through the links in our Telegram channel.
A “recruiter” wrote to me on Viber or WhatsApp. Is that you?
We do not start conversations from personal messenger accounts. Check whether the contact is in the list of official channels and ask in our Telegram.
Why does Russian propaganda create fake brigade channels?
To collect data, extract money and spread false contract terms. If in doubt, contact the official channels from the list.
I am a foreign national. Whom can I trust?
The legal route is directly to the unit or through the Recruitment Center for Foreign Nationals and Stateless Persons. Do not pay intermediaries. See the page for foreign nationals.
