Ukrainian Volunteer Army (UDA) is a volunteer military formation established in December 2015 by Dmitry Yarosh after his departure from Right Sector movement. On October 14, 2018, 5th and 8th battalions were withdrawn from the contact line and UDA had begun to train territorial defense forces. After the Russian full-scale invasion, Dmitry Yarosh announced deployment of all available battalions to the front. The units are part of various branches, not only of Ukrainian Armed Forces.
