On this day in 1991 🇺🇦 Soviet hardliners launched their coup in Moscow in an attempt to preserve the collapsing USSR.
That same day in Kyiv, Ukrainian nationalists began organising self-defence units that would become UNSO.
35 years later, the UNSO name is still present in the war against Russia.
In March 2026, volunteers associated with UNSO formed the Ukrainian National Self-Defense Assault Company within Tactical Group “Revanche”.
