This was reported by Vadym Filashkin, Head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration.
The unit was created to protect civilian infrastructure, logistics routes, and the “roads of life” used to evacuate people. In just a few months of operation, the fighters have already neutralized more than 3,100 aerial targets. These are lives saved and critical facilities preserved.
Today, together with the leadership of the Donetsk Region Police, the head of the region took part in official events marking the establishment of the battalion. The fighters were presented with a battle flag and unit patches. The best special officers were awarded the “Badge of Honor” and distinctions from the Head of the Donetsk Region Defense Council.
The enemy is constantly changing tactics, and we are obliged to respond. The creation of this battalion is an example of how the police are adapting to new challenges and strengthening the protection of Donetsk region.
