Svoboda Battalion

The Svoboda Battalion began its journey at the very start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but its roots date back to 2014. Back then, the Svoboda movement formed military volunteer units, with the first being the Sich Battalion, which later joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs, followed by the Carpathian Sich, integrated into the 93rd Brigade.

 

The modern incarnation of the Svoboda Battalion started to form around the Kyiv branch of the All-Ukrainian Union "Svoboda," which became the first headquarters after the invasion. In those crucial days of February and March, hundreds of Ukrainians rushed to Svoboda, knowing they would receive weapons and the chance to fight for their country without the bureaucracy. Most of the volunteers had no military experience; many had never even held a weapon before. The only experienced fighters were Commander Petro Kuzik and a few others who had been fighting since 2014.

 

After the Kyiv campaign, it became clear that continuing to fight as Territorial Defense Forces (TDF) was no longer an option. The need to join the regular army was urgent. That’s when Svoboda found common ground with the 4th Operational Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, which would later become "Rubizh."

 

Since then, the Svoboda Battalion has fought side-by-side with Rubizh, continuing to defend Ukrainian territory in battles like those in Siverskodonetsk and Bakhmut. Today, the Svoboda Battalion holds strong positions near Siversk, a key area for Ukraine's defense in Donbas.

 

Join us, and become part of a legacy built on courage, unity, and an unyielding commitment to Ukraine's freedom.
