🚨OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER CENTER (IVC)🚨

We’ve been contacted by journalists regarding an alleged connection between IVC and Mr. Ryan Routh, who has been accused of attempting to attack presidential candidate Donald Trump. We want to clarify that IVC has no connection to Mr. Routh. He was not involved in founding our organization, and we have had no dealings or communication with him.

This confusion stems from two media reports:

1. Semafor (March 10, 2023) mentioned Mr. Routh as the head of an International Volunteer Center, an organization that had not been founded at that time.

2. Newsweek (September 15, 2024) incorrectly linked our organization to Mr. Routh, using details from our Facebook page without verifying the information.

IVC has been officially registered in Ukraine since October 2023. Prior to the recent reports, we had no knowledge of Mr. Routh or any other organization by this name. We believe Mr. Routh has not established an organization with the name "International Volunteer Center" in Ukraine.

We have been committed to supporting foreign volunteers in Ukraine for almost a year and regret that our name has been misused. We appreciate the journalists who reached out for clarification and remain dedicated to our mission in Ukraine.

Remus Cernea, a Romanian activist and war correspondent,interviewed Routh in June 2022,and told Newsweek thatRouth was then working as a recruiter for The International Legion for the Defense of Ukrainea unit of the Ukrainian Army composed of foreign volunteers.

Cernea told Newsweek that Routh had become more disappointed with the direction of the conflict when they last met in August 2023, and upset by what he saw as insufficient aid being sent to Ukraine.

Remarking on his potential motives, Cernea said: "Maybe he thought that Trump is not a friend of Ukraine. Maybe if Trump wins, [he thought] the aid for Ukraine would stop."

By the time he made his primetime announcement, Nance had already been volunteering with the Ukrainian army for a month. On 27 February, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky declared the formation of the International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine — a unit specifically for foreigners who wanted to fight the Russian invasion — and invited people to “join the defence of security in Europe and the world.” Nance did just that, the next day.

“They said just go to a Ukrainian embassy and you’ll get instructions. And that’s what I did,” he tells The Independent.

Before the war, Nance had been travelling the country working in his role as an analyst for MSNBC, studying the various ways Russia might launch its invasion. He made friends with many of the Ukrainian soldiers he met along the way. When the war came, he felt obliged to do something.
