Kyiv-alignedLandBrigadeSubordination unknownMechanized brigade
Broad area of activity
The Donbas since 2014; publicly associated with the Bakhmut and Chasiv Yar sectors in the full-scale war.
Notable history
One of the oldest regular brigades ("King Danylo"), with service in the 2014–15 Donbas battles and near-continuous line duty in the full-scale war.
Strengths
Deep institutional experience; a veteran cadre tradition older than most of the force.
Limitations
The unglamorous long-defence role generates less documentation — and less recruitment pull — than the famous assault formations.
