The Sibir (Siberia) battalion has brought together dozens of Russians and people from ethnic minorities in Russia who traveled via third countries because they wanted to join the Ukrainian army, according to officials at their training camp.
Unlike volunteer groups such as the Freedom of Russia legion that have declared support for Ukraine, the soldiers are part of the regular Ukrainian army and expect to be sent into battle very soon.
They include people from groups such as Yakuts and Buryats in Russia’s vast eastern Siberian region who said they wanted independence from Russia and viewed Ukraine’s victory in the war as a step toward that goal.
“If people want to fight for Ukraine, for our borders, for the collapse of this Russian soviet regime, why not?” Batya, their Ukrainian instructor and commander, told Bloomberg News during a visit Tuesday to the group’s training ground. “It is their choice.”
Love to see it, but shouldn’t they be turning those Russian citizens into spies and keeping this under wraps? Just sayin…
Sounds like a spin-off of Inglorious Bastards
This is why I got love for *Russian people* but not the Russian government. Good on these guys for standing up to tyranny, hopefully one day their people can be free from their oppressive government (along with Ukraine being safe as well). Hope to see more of this (and less of Vladimir Putin)
What Ukraine has, that Russia hasn’t:
-cool weapons
-charismatic leader
-rightness
