Members of Ukraine's far-right movement Azov together with the National Corp held military training for volunteers in Kyiv on Sunday to teach them self-defence in case of an attack from Russia.

Training under the slogan "Do not panic, get ready!" was held at the outskirts of Kyiv where hundreds of volunteers had showed up.

The training involved tactical maneuvers, as well as basic instructions on how to hold a weapon.

Head of Azov battalion Maxim Zhorin told The Associated Press the group was holding training because of the "absolute ineffective actions" of Ukraine's government.

People of all ages and various professions were among the volunteers.

"I want to listen and see, to understand the events and get the firsthand information to know what to do in case of attack," said volunteer Olha Kurbatova.
