“At that time, I will say that if the “parents” in the volunteer battalions are Avakov, Turchynov and Kolomoisky. Three people who believed, firstly, in me, in the volunteer movement, provided weapons and the opportunity to train. In general, as an adviser to Kolomoisky at that time, he gave me a lot in the direction that what I asked for at that time, except for weapons, I was provided with almost everything - this is extremely important,” he said in an interview with Espreso. TV".
“Because training at a police training ground, or at an army training ground, speaking about the philosophy of the UPA, was not just difficult, but very difficult. At that time, the Dnepropetrovsk “Berkut” was still wearing “Colorado” ribbons. This was nonsense. They haven't been disbanded yet.
And Kolomoisky finds a training ground where we are still training, finds a place to place personnel and food. Just so you understand, the commander of a volunteer battalion is a mini-Minister of Defense. Supplies, ammunition, shooting - that's all at the battalion commander. Therefore, I want to give Kolomoisky credit for trusting me,” Bereza said.
