None of us chose this horror. Putin did
This was reported by Ukraine's National Resistance Centre.
"On the initiative of the First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration, Sergei Kiriyenko, the Soyuz unit was created. It includes participants in sports competitions, including martial arts tournaments," the National Resistance Centre stated.
It is noted that the unit is sponsored by Russian state-owned companies, including Rosatom and Sberbank. During the war, they spent tens of millions of rubles to purchase weapons and optical equipment for the Russian forces.
At the same time, the Russian Special Forces University, located in Chechnya, is responsible for training the Soyuz participants.
