The 81st Russian special purpose brigade “Bears”, fighting Ukraine in Oleshki near Kherson, has been assembled and trained on training ground near Perevalne village in occupied Crimea.

Separate “expeditionary corps” of “Bears” is being recruited for the “work” of Russian mercenaries abroad, in Africa. 

“Bears” are closely connected with quasi-private military company “Redut”, controlled by the Main External Intelligence Department of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (“GRU”). Russia replaces “Wagner” mercenaries with “Bears” and other units of “Redut” in African countries.
