The Belarusian Volunteer Corps (Беларускі добраахвотніцкі корпус) is a Pro-Ukrainian military unit formed as a splinter from the Kastuś Kalinoŭski Regiment, led by figures such as Rodion Batulin, the Corps includes former Kalinoŭski Regiment units such as Batulin’s Terror Battalion and also former Belarussian members of other far-right Ukrainian organisations, including Brotherhood and Tradition and Order:

On December 25, 2022, Belarusian volunteers Ihor “Yanki” Yankov, Andriy “Bezsmertnyi” Trotsevsky and Rodion “Gena” Batulin announced the creation of the Belarusian Volunteer Corps, made up of several different Belarusian units that have been fighting the Russian Army in Ukraine.23

Previously, the leaders of the new formation were members of various volunteer units. Thus, “Yanki” gathered the commander of the Belarusian unit in the Ukrainian volunteer battalion “Brotherhood”, the machine gunner of the Ukrainian group “Tradition and Order”, the commander of the international battalion “Titan”. Before the start of the full-scale war, Rodion Batulin was known as one of the closest associates of Serhii “Botsman” Korotkyh, later he became a representative of the “Terror” battalion. This formation split from the Kastuś Kalinoŭski Regiment in the summer of 2022 and operated as an independent unit before joining the Belarusian Volunteer Corps. 45

Members of the Corps reportedly took part in incursions into Russia in support of the Russian Volunteer Corps.1
