Yakut and Buryat in the Armed Forces: As the Siberian Battalion from the Russians will fight with Putin's regime

The Ukrainian army has formed a battalion "Siberia" of 60 Russian soldiers who want to fight the aggressors and dictatorial regime of Vladimir Putin. In the training camp of the Russians, dozens of representatives of ethnic minorities with the Russian Federation, including Yakuta and Buryat, united. They came to Ukraine through third countries to participate in hostilities, writes Bloomberg.

Difference from the Volunteers of the Legion "Freedom of Russia" (LSR) and the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDC) is that these soldiers are part of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces. They will soon be sent to battle, say representatives of the Ukrainian command. Ukrainian officials want to attract more Russian citizens, especially representatives of national minorities, to participate in a full -scale war.

Members of the Siberian battalion were previously carefully checked for dedication to Ukraine: the verification of biographical data could last up to a year, commanders say. The military is not Russian prisoners and passed, signed military contracts and gave army calls, the authors of the material indicate. "We need to destroy the Kremlin regime. I want Yakutia to be a free democratic country. It is a very rich region, but people are so poor there.

Only public officials who serve Putin are flourishing," says 29-year-old Yakut agency with a call sign. Russian from the Moscow region with the call sign Gandhi, stated that he left Russia almost immediately at the beginning of the invasion in February 2022 and went to Ukraine through Poland. "I have the right to defend the lives of other people. I felt that as a Russian I bear responsibility for it.

I understand that I can kill me in the first battle, but it is much more scary for me to feel like my country's evil," the 41-year-old man said . The danger is not excluded that the new battalion can deploy a weapon against the Armed Forces, as well as some people will be "moles", says the Major of the Armed Forces, military expert Alexei Hetman. "Unfortunately," moles "are everywhere enough. Buryat has proved to be the most cruel about civilians.

The suspect is that their attitude to the Ukrainian military will be twofold. It is important that the average and leadership composition is formed from the Ukrainian military. The Russians need close supervision," - - - He told focus. The Russians should be shown that not only Volunteers of the LSR and RDCs, but also regular units in the Armed Forces are fighting against the Putin regime.

The Siberian Battalion is a small military structure and its main task - to demonstrate the presence of Russians ready to fight, the hetman added. Russian fighters who are fighting on the side of Ukraine often demonstrated a good level of training. Volunteers with RDC and LSR conducted successful information and power operations in the territory of Bryansk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation. "The level of Siberian battalion fighters still should be checked.

Interestingly, what tasks will be set before them. You can also mention the Belarusian regiment of Castus Kalinovsky. For over a year and a half they are fighting in hot spots and showing the best professional results. The world is now being demonstrated In particular through military channels, " - says Focus a military expert and former spokesman for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznyov.

The national affiliation of Russian fighters is not so important, because they are united by the hatred of the Kremlin regime, the expert summed up. Focus wrote earlier that after the war, the number of veterans in Ukraine may increase to four million people. All participants of hostilities, persons with disabilities as a result of hostilities and families of dead at the front will be brought to the State Register of Veterans.
