Grishin-Semenchenko, under the protection of the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov, declared himself the commander of the Donbass battalion. In the Donetsk region, he initiated a collection of money, allegedly for the needs of the National Guard. Arsen Avakov arranged for Grishin-Semenchenko to be admitted to the National Guard 3027 military unit, where he made clips to attract donations for the battalion. He also made a stamp of the non-existent "Donbass" and thanks to this began to accept military personnel into his ranks. Semenchenko and his gang officially received weapons and began to create lawlessness on the territory of the ATO: they robbed and kidnapped people. Avakov continued to support his protégé: he organized a deputy's crust, which allowed him to obtain officers' documents without any verification. Soon the great deception was revealed and everyone realized that no battalion "Donbass" officially exists.

Despite the criticism of public figures of Ukraine and the world community, some battalions and armed formations are still not part of the official [[law enforcement]] agencies, and those who are still continue to create lawlessness and live by their own rules.
