So, the unit was banned over a decade ago (when they where still a militia) and accusations of human rights violations where levied against it but never proven.

In 2015 the militia was absorbed into the Ukranian national guard after the Russians invaded Crimea.
Since the unit has shown they follow chain of command and are excellent warfighters defending Ukraine.
The US has vetted the unit and found no proof of the accusations levied pre 2015, and no issues since they are official military.

Seems like an elite unit is about to get access to some of the cool toys.
