A park of the Chechen battalion named after Sheikh Mansur appeared in Ukraine

In the urban village of Okny, Podolsky district, Odessa region, a park has been renamed. It is named after the volunteer Chechen battalion named after Sheikh Mansur.

In October 2023, a memorial named after Sheikh Mansour was opened in the Ukrainian Krivoy Rog. In addition, in the village of Kamenskoye, Dnepropetrovsk region, the battalion of the same name opened a memorial stand in memory of its fallen soldiers.
 
Sheikh Mansur is the leader of the people's liberation movement of the highlanders of the North Caucasus in the second half of the 19th century. The Chechen unit named after him has been taking part in the defense of Ukraine since 2014. Supporters of Ichkeria's independence are also fighting there.
