Actually,
Walker did not say anything new about Muslim battalions fighting
alongside the forces of Ukraine’s regime; he just confirmed again the
fact that there is a close link between Ukrainian nationalists and
Islamists united in the fight against their common enemy – Russia. The
Dzhokhar Dudayev and Sheikh Mansour battalions came to Ukraine last
spring. The units are manned by foreign citizens mainly coming from the
member-states of the European Union. According to the Ukraine’s laws
still in force, the «Muslim battalions» are illegal armed formations.
Their fighters are felons «who act in collusion as a criminal group to
commit two or more premeditated murders».

After
lawlessness prevailed over the rule of law in Ukraine (that’s what was
the main reason to make people rise against the regime in Donbass, the
eastern part of Ukraine, where armed groups going on a rampage has
become a daily routine. It is not perceived as something unusual
anymore. The gang of armed Islamists is formally called the Dzhokhar
Dudayev International Peacekeeping Battalion.
