The main requirement for the battalion’s fighters, along with physical training, is “pro-Ukrainian ideology.”
The battalion accepts volunteers aged 18 to 45 years. The battalion will be equipped from the reserves of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
Bereza reported that during the storming of the Kharkov City Council, which was headed by Kolomoisky’s business partner, Gennady Kernes, the police were equipped with foam rubber dummies instead of body armor.
The National Guard battalion of 350 people already at the disposal of the Kyiv authorities is planned to be redeployed to suppress popular protests in the Slavyansk area. Bereza emphasized that against this background, the unit’s task will be, first of all, to protect the Dnepropetrovsk region.
In addition, he said that about 1 thousand volunteers are already ready to serve in the special battalion.
