Comprising mainly Ukrainian nationalists and anarchists, they engaged in guerrilla warfare against Soviet, Polish, and White Russian forces, seeking to establish an independent Ukrainian state. Known for their resistance tactics, they aimed to defend Ukraine’s sovereignty and resist foreign control, playing a significant role in the broader struggle for Ukrainian independence during a complex period of regional upheaval.
