Resistance Committee (Ukraine)

The Resistance Committee (Ukrainian: Комітет Спротиву; RC), also known as the Black Headquarters or Anti-Authoritarian Platoon, is a Ukrainian detachment made up of anarchist, anti-authoritarian and anti-fascist volunteers. It was formed to fight against the Russian invasion of Ukraine as part of the Territorial Defense Forces (TDF).

Formed in Kyiv on the first day of the invasion, the Committee brought together several anarchist and anti-fascist groups that intended to resist the Russian advance. It initially fought in the Battle of Kyiv, before many of its members were transferred to the Eastern front, where some of its fighters have died. It also established a mutual aid network in order to supply its fighters and provide humanitarian aid to civilians.

It has defined itself as an anti-authoritarian and anti-imperialist organisation, and has demanded a number of reforms including mass debt relief, the introduction of a welfare system and the self-management of society.
