About the unit
Tactical Group “Nenavyst” is a volunteer combat unit within the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence (HUR MO).
Our purpose is fraternal assistance to the people of Ukraine in defending the freedom, independence and territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state; active participation in weakening and ultimately destroying the so-called “russian federation”; and securing Kozakia’s right to self-determination in fact rather than in name, together with its defence.
Tactical Group “Nenavyst” is the ideological successor of the First Free Cossack Detachment and serves as the combat wing of the Yertaul movement.

Questions and answers
The questions we are asked most often.
Does applying mean I am being mobilised?
No. Until basic training is complete, every recruit has the full right to leave the course — by striking the symbolic bell in front of the formation, which signals the wish to go.
Are there non-combat roles?
Yes, there are.
What is the difference between a contract and mobilisation?
Mobilisation lasts until the end of the special legal regime. A contract is normally for a fixed term, can be re-signed, and can be terminated on lawful grounds.
How long is training?
Standard basic training runs 45 days. Range work and training within the unit continue for the whole term of service: every fighter keeps raising their qualification and professional competence.
What should I bring with me?
Besides personal belongings, it is worth bringing:
Toiletries
Underwear
Thermal underwear
A tracksuit
A sleeping bag
Seasonal hiking boots
Seasonal trainers
Seasonal clothing
If you are a foreign national, do not bring anything of military purpose — there is a high risk of being stopped from leaving Russia or Belarus, or from entering third countries.
Applying does not mean you are being mobilised.
