Multiple sources (including some cited) claim that Cafferkey and other Anarchists killed at Bakhmut were fighting under the command of Dmytro Korchynsky as part of the far-right Bratstvo Battalion.^[1] ^[2] This article and the article for Dmitry Petrov (anarchist) instead imply that they died fighting in an unnamed Anarchist unit. This is a non-trivial inconsistency. If the claim about the unit is accurate this would presumably mean that they either had experienced an ideological conversion shortly before their death (Korchynsky explicitly claims this) or else they lied about their beliefs in order to join. (This is implied in the Irish Times article)
