The Terror Battalion (Belarusian: Батальён "Тэрор"; Ukrainian: Батальйон "Терор") was a military formation of Belarusian volunteers (formerly a company) fighting in the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the Ukrainian side until November 2024. The unit was named after Dmytro Apanasovich [uk] (call sign "terror") who died during the defense of Irpin, and was created in 2022.

History

[edit]

Zmitser (Dmytro) Apanasovych (Belarusian: Зьміцер Мар'янавіч Апанасовіч) was a soldier of the Ukrainian volunteer battalion Kastus Kalinovsky who went by the call sign "Terror": he died on 24 March 2022, from a combat wound near the city of Irpin.[2][3] In his honor, a new unit was formed as a part of the Kastuś Kalinoŭski Regiment.[4] In August 2022, the unit's leader was dismissed from the Regiment, leading to the Terror Battalion's separation.[5]

In September 2022, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus recognized the Internet groups of the battalion and other Belarusian military formations in Ukraine as extremist formations.[6]

On 14 November 2022, one of the soldiers of the battalion received an award from Volodymyr Zelensky during his visit to liberated Kherson.[7]

On 27 December 2022, the battalion announced its entry into the Belarusian Volunteer Corps as one of its main units.[8]

In November 2024, the unit dissolved. Some of the fighters joined the spetznaz of Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine.[9]
