28th Separate Mechanized Brigade

The 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign has been defending Ukraine since the very beginning of the Russian aggression. In 2014, units of the brigade moved to the Donetsk region to cover the state border. From the first day of the full-scale invasion, the brigade defended Odesa and part of the Mykolaiv region. Since August 2022, the brigade has played a key role in the offensive operation to liberate Kherson and was one of the first to enter the city. Since the beginning of December 2022, the brigade has been performing combat missions in the Donetsk region, destroying the manpower and equipment of the Russian army.
