The Right Sector training sector will stay on the territory of the Ukrainian Ground Forces Training Center Desna in the Chernihiv region, Dmytro Yarosh, leader of the Right sector and a Ukrainian parliamentarian, said.
“We have just reached an agreement that our training center in Desna will stay in place for the time being. In the next few days, I will speak again on the future of our state with the leadership of the so-called counterterrorist operation (ATO) and the law enforcement structures […] maybe it will bring some results,” Yarosh said on Facebook on Saturday, May 9.
Later the press service of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that at present, soldiers of the Ukrainian volunteer corps are staying at the building that is temporarily used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“It was decided to repair the building and use it with the purpose of providing the high-quality training of Ukrainian Army soldiers. The leaders of the Ukrainian volunteer corps were informed in advance and a request to accelerate the decision making on the official joining of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was sent,” the General Staff said.
According to earlier reports, Yarosh said on April 28 that paratroopers from 25th and 95th brigades of Ukrainian army had blocked Right Sector’s base in Dnipropetrovsk region and tried to disarm its soldiers.
The Right Forces Training Center was earlier offered to undergo a special procedure to join the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As of early April, the corps said an agreement had been reached on the inclusion in the Defense Ministry, but said it would only happen if some conditions were fulfilled. Several fighters of the corps made a decision to join the 79th separate aeromobile brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The presidential administration later said a decision had been made on voluntary inclusion of the Right Sector Training Center in the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a separate unit.
