The Ukrainian command has established a new 12th Army Corps as part of the Ground Forces of Ukraine. The formation of the corps was confirmed in a recent post by the Ministry of Defense on its Facebook page. Previously, in November 2024, Mariana Bezuhla had hinted at the creation of the 12th Army Corps, though no further evidence of its existence was provided at the time.
The numeric designation follows the sequence of the three prior Ground Forces corps: the 9th, 10th, and 11th Army Corps. It was the only available number remaining in the series, as the 8th and 13th Army Corps had existed previously.
The composition of the corps, along with its military unit number or insignia, is currently unknown.

Could you update the map pls

slava Ukraine!!!
Jerome, can you tell me what this means in context? I am used to a Corps being a HQ unit for assigned divisions (brigades?) with additional artillery, medical and other resources. Do these’units have permanent units assigned and extra resources?
Ukrainian army corps units have semi-permanent structure. Each corps has a support, engineering, and logistics battalions. You can check 10th Army Corps for example: https://militaryland.net/ukraine/armed-forces/10th-army-corps/.
Thanks Jerome. I would like to believe that if the 152nd/155th had a corps level command from the start, that OK West wouldn’t have had carte blanche to slice them up.
