The governor of the Kirov region spoke about the volunteer battalion in Ukraine

Volunteers from the Kirov region became part of the Vyatka battalion, which is already participating in the SVO in Ukraine. A new division is being formed, said the head of the region Alexander Sokolov.

“Now the formation of a division named after the Hero of the Soviet Union Pyotr Nikolaevich Shironin has begun in the region,” the governor said.

In the performance of the tasks of the special operation, as noted by Sokolov, the Kirov fighters of the Russian Guard, OMON and SOBR are participating. The Kirov anti-aircraft missile brigade is serving in the protection of the sky in the NVO zone of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.

Earlier, the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, proposed declaring “self-mobilization” in the regions. Each head of the Russian subject, in his opinion, is able to prepare, educate and staff “at least a thousand volunteers.”
