Ukrainian command has decided to deploy additional troops to Donbas, signaling a possible rotation of Ukrainian units.

A long over-due rotation of Ukrainian units stationed in Donbas might be underway. The command of Armed Forces of Ukraine has begun to deploy newly formed brigades to the eastern Ukraine. In addition to newly formed units, 1st Tank Brigade has been redeployed from the north to Donbas after a two-month break.

To recall, many of the Ukrainian brigades have been deployed to the frontline since day one of the Russian Invasion and are in dire need of replenishment. Notably, the elements of 24th, 30th, 53rd, 54th Mechanized Brigades, 25th Airborne and 95th AirAssault Brigades have been deployed to Donbas since November 2021.

 

1st Tank Brigade
Southern part of Donetsk Oblast and Kramatorsk
One battalion of the brigade was deployed to the area of 53rd Mechanized Brigade, most likely to support the newly deployed Jager brigades, another battalion to the vicinity of Kramatorsk.

 

68th Jager Brigade
Southern part of Donetsk Oblast
68th Jager Brigade has been deployed to the area of 53rd Mechanized Brigade.

 

71st Jager Brigade
Southern part of Donetsk Oblast
The brigade was deployed to the area of 53rd, or possibly 54th Mechanized Brigade in Donetsk Oblast.

 

115th Mechanized Brigade
Slovyansk Area
Ukrainian command deployed the brigade to the area of 24th Mechanized Brigade east of Kramatorsk.

 

Our Deployment map has been updated to reflect these changes.
