Was never a part of the Ukrainian military at all, neither "formal" nor informal. The National Guard are the renamed Internal Troops (just like in Russia).
They were never involved in bombing because they never had any aircraft (not even helicopters of armed drones). And there was also very little bombing in the entire war up until 2 weeks ago.
The guys took Mariupol in 2014 with even zero artillery support. None.
