Horrified by the images emerging from Russian-occupied areas in\u00a0Ukraine, soldiers have left the Russian forces to turn against their home country.<\/p>\n

The men were disillusioned by the blind support for Russian President\u00a0<\/span>Vladimir Putin\u00a0<\/span>or the apathy toward the war among their compatriots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Packed and determined, they navigated the challenges and reached Ukraine, where they joined the ranks of Kyiv\u2019s troops fighting against Russian forces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today, these men form the Siberian Battalion, a unit comprised of Russians who have aligned themselves with the Ukrainian military to resist their homeland’s actions, harboring hopes of eventually contributing to the ousting of President Putin. The majority of its members come from ethnic minorities in Russia\u2019s far east.<\/p>\n

When Russia initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the members of the Siberian Battalion were dismayed by the widespread support for Putin or the indifference displayed by most Russians.<\/p>\n

In contrast to other volunteer units with Russian nationals, the Siberian Battalion is officially integrated into the regular Ukrainian army, subjecting its fighters to thorough security checks before training and deployment.<\/p>\n
