Unlike voluntary groups like the Freedom of Russia Legion, these soldiers will become part of the Ukrainian Army and be sent into battle soon. pic.twitter.com/n47HnQy4P8

Initially, the association recruited soldiers for the Russian Volunteer Corps, which was integrated into the national units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Recently, however, attention has been paid to the creation of a new unit – the Siberian battalion, Polish Radio reported on Wednesday.

Many of the battalion’s volunteers are representatives of oppressed minorities in Russia – Buryats, Yakuts and other ethnic groups.

Ethnic minorities from Russia, including oppressed nations like the Yakuts and Buryats, are joining Ukraine’s fight against 🇷🇺 aggression in a distinct unit – the Sibir (Siberia) battalion.

“So far, 60 people have applied,” Tatiana Kosinova, secretary of the Russian Civic Council, revealed to Polish Radio.

“Not everyone is fighting now, because they signed up at different times. Those who signed up in the last few days have not yet undergone military training. They have a lot to learn. Those who were drafted into the Siberian battalion last September and earlier are fighting at the front,” revealed Kosinova.

Kosinova calls on Russian emigrants to support Ukraine not only with words, but also with deeds. She emphasized that peaceful protests alone will not be enough to overthrow Putin’s regime.

“Vladimir Putin’s regime will not be overthrown with peaceful protests, but only with weapons in hand,” Kosinova believes.

“If Ariel Henry doesn’t step down, we’re headed straight for a civil war that will lead to genocide,” Jimmy Barbecue, who heads a powerful gang alliance, said Tuesday.

Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherisier made the threat as members of his gang tried to occupy the capital’s airport to stop the country’s prime minister returning from abroad.

So far, the violence has mainly been seen around the capital, but there have been reports of shootings in the city of Jeremiah and also prison riots in the south.

Invasions of the main two prisons, attacks on police officers – the gang alliance has caused a significant wave of violence, as a result of which thousands of prisoners have escaped en masse.

The gang leader has opposed the prime minister since he took power shortly after the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021.

Since the outbreak of violence, the prime minister has not spoken publicly about what is happening. He only shared the news about the declaration of a state of emergency.

“Either Haiti will become a paradise for all of us, or a hell for all of us,” the gang leader declared.

Haiti has not elected officials and no elections have been held since 2016. The lack of officers is filled by gangs that control 80% of the capital.

Kidnappings for ransom have become very popular. Many schools and medical facilities are closed for security reasons.

The medical charity Doctors Without Borders announced that it will temporarily suspend the operation of mobile clinics in several locations.

“We are afraid that we will run out of medicines and medical equipment, which are absolutely necessary to meet the needs we are currently facing,” said head of mission Mumuza Muhindo Musubaho.

The United Nations Security Council announced that it will hold an emergency meeting on Wednesday, March 6, to discuss the situation.
