| Direct translation of the article via Google Translate. [REGNUM] President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin supported the idea of creating separate Cossack units within the structure of the National Guard.
According to Chaika, we are talking about the formation of territorial divisions of the Russian Guard, among which there will be special Cossack divisions. Chaika said that he had already written a letter to the President of Russia and the Russian leader supported the initiative. Chaika stressed that purely Cossack units would be created. “These will be, we think, Cossack regiments, battalions will be created, namely exclusively Cossack ones. They will be located at the place of deployment, at the place of residence of the Cossacks. This is our thought, idea. It is difficult to say how we are implementing it, but we will try to implement it in such a plane, ”the plenipotentiary said. As previously reported by IA REGNUM , Chaika came up with a similar initiative back in March 2021. Then he proposed to involve the Cossacks in protecting state facilities and ensuring public safety. Chaika also said that it was necessary to establish cooperation between the Cossacks and units of the Ministry of Defense and the National Guard. | |

| #3 There has been a quiet movement to attract youths to Zaporozhian training - Cossack martial arts, etc. - in the historic Dnieper island center of the Zaporozhian forces. At a time when drug use continues to be a problem in their age group, it's notable. |
