1/ A Russian volunteer detachment in the occupied Kherson region has reportedly been forcibly disarmed by the FSB, apparently due to fears of a new Wagner-style mutiny. ⬇️ 
2/ According to the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel, the FSB's regional office in Kherson has carried out a 'special operation' against the Whirlwind battalion, part of the Union of Volunteers of Donbass (SDD). According to the SDD, Whirlwind has been fighting since February 2022.
3/ The SDD's VK page states that the battalion has "participated in the battles near Kharkiv and Volchansk, in the Luhansk People's Republic and in the Kherson direction."
4/ A source tells VChK-OGPU that due to "fear of a new rebellion", the battalion's camp "was cordoned off and every fighter was searched, and all the caches were ransacked. Everything seized has been placed in the local police station and is awaiting examination."
5/ "Interestingly, despite the active measures and a whole arsenal of weapons, the investigators are in no hurry to initiate proceedings, apparently waiting for the go-ahead.
6/ "The fate of the disarmed group is still unclear, but it is already said that the Whirlwind commanders are trying to get through to someone in authority to settle the conflict. There is nothing with which they can go to Moscow." /end
