Although 1.5 million Ukrainians have fled the country amid the Russian invasion, more than 100,000 Ukrainians and others have flocked to Ukraine in order to fight Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces, according to Ukraine Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov.www.foxnews.com
You'd think that someone seriously considering going over to fight would have their finger on the pulse of "am I needed?" and "who do I contact?"
I have a lot of respect for the people who do it. I don't have much for the people who larp it though.
Most people on here are hobbyists and older, fatter ones at that

I can't provide feedback on new carriers as I'm still running a 10+ year old American Eagle. Everyone raves about the Crye for weight and mobility so probably your best bet.
Pouches, honestly I'd go with something like a taco where you can cram a mag of varying size/shape depending on what you're given, or something more generic with a button flap and then you can pad it with foam to make it snug when you get there. Either way I'd not buy something hard shell even though I prefer them.
Boots are tough depending on shape of your foot. I have two pairs I wear all the time. One is a Rocky thinsulate boot. Waterproof and warm for winter use. Pic below.

The other is more of a warm weather boot the 5.11 ATAC 2.0. Super quiet, very comfortable but on the softer side and they might wear too fast.
