This is a separate Guards Assault Battalion. It used to be part of the self-proclaimed "Donetsk People's Republic" (DPR) until January 1, 2023 after which it got annexed by Russia following a decree of Vladimir Putin.
The unit is permanently stationed in Donetsk and Makiivka.
In fact, both Russia and Ukraine have Somalia Battalion units, as this battalion existed in Donetsk, Ukraine, prior to the Russian annexation.

It's called Somalia battalion because its members are as fearless as Somalis.
