Ukrainian Territorial Defense
The Ukrainian Territorial Defense is the Volksturm of Ukraine. It is under the Ministry of the Interior and National Guard, and overseen by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), commonly known as the Ukrainian Gestapo. During the Russo-Ukraine war, Reuters reported the Banderites[1] in Ukraine numbered 102,000 men, split into several militias incorporated within the Territorial Defense.[2] Members of the Territorial Defense, teenagers below draft age with no military training at all, were sent outside their home regions, in violation of their contracts, to the frontlines as cannon fodder.[3]
Bucha massacre
According to War On Fakes, "the first unit of the Ukrainian armed forces to enter Bucha was the special forces of the National Guard of Ukraine. The official Telegram channel of the National Guard posted a video, filmed by the fighters of this detachment themselves. We can see on this video that the Ukrainian military calmly pass through the streets of the city—and no ‘mountains of corpses’ are visible on these streets.” War On Fakes then asks, “So where did the corpses on the streets of Bucha come from. And who are these people? The answer may lie in the video of the Territorial Defense, which clearly states the question ‘Can I shoot at them if there are no blue armbands?’ To which a positive response follows. The video was originally posted by the leader of the Territorial Defense Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh.”[4]
