40-й моторизований батальйон

40th Motorized Battalion was a separate unit of the Сухопутні війська of Ukraine.

The battalion was formed in May 2014 as 19th Battalion of Territorial Defense with residents from Kryvyi Rih, and later that November was reorganized into the motorized battalion of the 17-та танкова бригада.

In 2015, the battalion was disbanded by order of the Ukrainian General Staff and accused of abandoning its positions during the battle of Debaltseve, which contributed to the town’s encirclement. The soldiers of the battalion denied these accusations.
