This was reported by the press officer of the International Volunteer Battalion named after Dzhokhar Dudayev, Amina Okueva.
“On behalf of the fighters of our battalion, many of whom have been on the front line for a long time, we ask you to take personal control of the issue of admitting our fighters to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We ask that you include us as a separate company in the Golden Gate battalion,” the appeal says.
According to the battalion volunteers, the documents of some of the personnel are already ready. And the military have passed special checks and are already waiting to be sent to the front line.
“We ask you to increase the staffing to 465 people, as previously planned. We want to fight legally, in accordance with the laws of Ukraine and under the subordination of the high command,” the address to the Minister of Internal Affairs also notes.
Let us recall that earlier soldiers of the Dudayev battalion were accused of involvement in the murder of Russian politician Boris Nemtsov.
