World’s most prominent retired military leaders join UWC’s Unite with Ukraine campaign
“The SAC is comprised of four of the world’s most prominent retired military leaders, who have joined forces to provide support and advice to UWC’s Unite with Ukraine campaign,” the press service of the UWC informs.
The team consists of leaders with experience in warfare and strategic planning:
- General Rick Hillier, Retired, Canadian Chief of Defense Staff, (SAC Chair)
- General Wesley K. Clark, US Army Retired, Supreme Allied Commander of NATO Forces in Europe
- General David H. Petraeus, US Army Retired, Commander of Coalition Forces in Iraq during the Surge, Commander of US Central Command, Commander of Coalition Forces in Afghanistan, and former Director of the CIA
- General Dick Lodewijk Berlijn, Retired, Chief of Defense of the Netherlands
The military experts have come together to support UWC’s “Unite With Ukraine” platform which is raising funds around the world to procure equipment. Their preeminent expertise will guide SAC in procuring and delivering urgently-needed equipment to the frontlines.
The SAC set a goal of providing 100,000 Territorial Defense Force fighters with lifesaving protective gear, including helmets, body armor, ballistic eyewear, and medical kits.
In June, General Hillier visited Ukraine and met with Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, senior military advisers, high-ranking officers, and frontline service members.
