Ongoing expansion of National Guard
Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs quietly forms new units within National Guard structure.
Armed Forces of Ukraine are not the only military formation in Ukraine who, due to Russian full-scale invasion in 2022, have started to form additional units or expand the already existing ones. For example, on February 5 this year, Ministry of Internal Affairs announced creation of new National Guard assault brigades under the Offensive Guard program.
However, Ukrainian National Guard is much bigger than just these Offensive Guard brigades. There are dozens of brigades, regiments and separate battalions who perform duties to protect Ukrainian state and its land. Through the months after the Russian full-scale invasion, several National Guard units were expanded and new formed. In total, the command of Ukrainian National Guard decided to expand four units to regiment or brigade size, and form six new additional units.
