The Commander of 12th Army Corps revealed

According to a gift certificate obtained by MilitaryLand, Colonel Pavlo Protsiuk has been appointed as the commander of the 12th Army Corps. Prior to this appointment, Protsiuk served as the Deputy Chief of Staff of Operational Command West. Just to remind you, the formation of the 12th Army Corps was first announced in March 2025, with MilitaryLand being the first to report on its creation.

In 2014, he led a combined tactical group within the 51st Mechanized Brigade and faced accusations of failing to carry out orders to defend Savur-Mohyla in July of that year. As a result, he was removed from command and an investigation was launched. However, soldiers from his brigade rallied behind him, claiming that his decision ultimately saved the lives of many soldiers from unnecessary loss. Since 2016, Protsiuk has served as the Deputy Chief of Staff of Operational Command West.
