68th Airmobile Brigade

68th Airmobile Brigade підрозділ Десантно-штурмових військ Збройних сил України.

The unit was established in March 2022 as the 68-а єгерська бригада and composed of thousands of volunteers who were among the first to enlist following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

By March 23, 2022, the brigade’s soldiers were already engaging the enemy near the approaches to Vuhledar.

In July 2025, alongside the 55-а артилерійська бригада, the unit was transferred to the 9-й армійський корпус. It had previously not been assigned to any combined arms units, but rather directly subordinated to Оперативне командування Захід.

In February 2026, the unit was transferred to the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces to be reformed as an Airmobile unit, becoming the 68th Airmobile Brigade. It joined the ranks of the 8-й десантно-штурмовий корпус.

Following its reformation, the brigade commander, Lieutenant Colonel Serhiy Tretyak, was replaced by Semen Sykolov, who previously served as deputy commander of the 25-а повітряно-десантна бригада.

As part of the reformation, the unit also received new training to integrate it better into the force, including parachute training, as well as rapid deployment with helicopters and other air vehicles.
