Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs has elaborated on duties of newly created Natsionalni Druzhyny (‘National Militia Units’) public order squads.
600 young members of the far-right National Corps party swore ‘an oath of loyalty to Ukrainians’ on Jan. 28 in the centre of Kyiv. The so-called ‘National Militia Units’ [національні дружини] plan to demonstrate their loyalty by “establishing Ukrainian order” on the streets of Kyiv, seemingly in cooperation with Ukraine’s National Police.
