Ukrainian units of Azov Movement became one of the main symbols of the resistance against Russian occupation and invasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The story of Azov Movement has started in February 2014, when Andriy Biletskyi, the leader of Patriot of Ukraine organization, formed Black Corps to protect Kharkiv. The group was one of the main factors why the Russian seizure of power in the city failed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2014, Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs decided to form volunteer battalions to help Ukrainian Army to counter Russian invasion of Donbas. Black Corps detachment was legalized, and Azov Battalion was created. The unit was formed by members of Patriot of Ukraine, Automaidan and football ultras. The commander of the unit was Andriy Biletskyi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
