Ground Forces Order of Battle 2014
This is a reasonably accurate order of battle as of 2014. It must be evident that the identities of many units remain unclear. It must also be appartent from the Division and Brigade Orders of Battle that over the past couple of decades Ukraine at one time or another has deployed a large number of units that have subsequently be inactivated. That is, there are a lot of unit patches, and not very many units. As is increasingly the case around the world, Ukraine has dispensed with the Division as a command echelon, and today employs only Corps and Brigades.
Soldiers who laid down arms during military operation against protesters in east Ukraine will face a tribunal, coup-imposed acting President Aleksandr Turchinov said 17 April 2014. “The 25th paratroopers brigade, the personnel of which demonstrated cowardice and laid down their arms, will be dissolved. And the soldiers responsible will be held accountable in court,” Turchinov said at a parliamentary session. The previous day crews of six Ukrainian armored personnel carriers sent to the town of Kramatorsk switched sides and joined the local self-defense squads. The defected troops, all of whom come from neighboring Dnepropentrovsk, explained their move by their unwillingness to go into battle against the local population.
