The brigade was formed back in 2015, following hostilities in Donbas. Its troops would later go on to fight in some of the war’s hottest spots throughout the War in Donbas and the full-scale invasion alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 6, 2019, on the first celebration of Infantry Day, the 58th Brigade received an honorary name in honor of Hetman Ivan Vyhovskyi (1657-1659), who defeated the Muscovite troops in the Battle of Konotop. On August 24, 2024, the President of Ukraine – Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, presented the commander of the brigade, Colonel Ruslan Shevchuk, the honorary ribbon “For Courage and Bravery”.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of russian full scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the 58th brigade was stationed in Chernihiv oblast and successfully repelled the russian incursions down to Bobrovytsia. Since May 2022, the combat path of the military unit has continued in the Bakhmut direction. In December 2022, the brigade came back to defend the northern borders of Ukraine in the Chernihiv region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February and March of 2023, the brigade fought in the Kupyansk and Lyman front. From September 2023 to October 2024, the brigade defended the south of Donbas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0423 2025 \u0440\u043e\u0446\u0456, the brigade was assigned <\/a>\u0434\u043e 14-\u0439 \u0430\u0440\u043c\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u043a\u043e\u0440\u043f\u0443\u0441<\/a> and started operating in its area of operation in northern Kharkiv Oblast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April, Colonel Ruslan Shevchuk was replaced by Colonel Ivan Shnyr. Shevchuk, an influential Ukrainian military figure, had led the brigade since 2023 and was appointed as commander<\/a> \u0437 15-\u0439 \u0430\u0440\u043c\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u043a\u043e\u0440\u043f\u0443\u0441<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of the year, the three separate motorized battalions were reorganized in linear battalion<\/a> under the command of the brigade, as part of the ongoing restructuring of Ukraine\u2019s Defense Forces. The change has been revealed by recruiting server\u00a0LobbyX<\/a>\u00a0\u0456\u00a0\u0430\u043a\u0430\u0443\u043d\u0442\u0438 \u0432 \u0441\u043e\u0446\u0456\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u043c\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0430\u0445<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2026, the brigade became the center of controversy<\/a> after the loss of a settlement in Kharkiv Oblast, which led to the suspension of its commander, but drew wider attention due to multiple allegations of corruption, abuse of personnel, and falsified procurement records, all officially denied during ongoing inspections from within the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
