Karelian Group “Nord” is a volunteer unit functioning as part of the Russian Volunteer Corps, within the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine. The unit was formed on January 19, 2023, through the initiative of the Karelian National Movement, known as the Karelian National Battalion. The unit saw no real activities apart from psychological and information warfare in Ukraine and Karelia, with the first active fighters of the unit allegedly arriving in Ukraine in February 2023. In 2023, ensuing the incursions into Bryansk and Belgorod Oblast in Russia, the Karelian National Movement separated ties with the Karelian National Battalion due to conflict over ideological goals and indifferences. At some point after, in late 2023, the battalion underwent a revival with a new insignia and a new parent unit belonging to the Russian Volunteer Corps rather than a separate unit. The unit also changed its name in early 2024 to “Karelian Group”. Since then, the battalion has participated in combat and training alongside the RDK and has been heavily involved in defending Vovchansk in Kharkiv Oblast.
