Dnipro Battalion, also known as Dnipro-1 (Template:Lang-uk), is a volunteer battalion of territorial defense of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine that is based in Dnipropetrovsk. The formation was established in April 2014, during the 2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine initiating multiple separatist movements in southern and eastern regions of Ukraine, drawing from "civic groups". Its assignments include duty at checkpoints in the south-eastern part of Ukraine.
The battalion practises fundraising; via the "charity organization" Dnepr-1 Fund it accepts financial donations.
Russia considers the Dnipro Battalion as a terrorist group.
