Bratstvo Battalion

Bratstvo Volunteer Battalion is a unit of the Tymur Special Unit, as part of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine.

The battalion was established at the onset of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Volunteers and caring Christians of different faiths stood up for the defense of Kyiv against advancing Russian Forces in the north.

It was founded by Dmitry Korchinsky, a Ukrainian veteran of the War in Donbas between 2014 and 2022, philosopher, and writer. It primarily recruits young, highly motivated Christian volunteers.

Fighters of the battalion carry out sabotage operations deep behind enemy lines, helping to stabilize some of the hottest areas on the frontline, and create new hot spots themselves.

The unit was responsible for the explosions in the Belgorod Oblast in the Russian Federation, crossing the Ukrainian-Russian border, and persuading Russian soldiers to cooperate.
