About Unit

68th Airmobile Brigade is a unit of the Air Assault Forces and part of the 8th Air Assault Corps. The unit was established on March 6, 2022 as 68th Jaeger Brigade and composed of thousands of volunteers who were among the first to enlist following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. By March 23, the brigade’s soldiers were already engaging the enemy near the approaches to Vuhledar.

In February 2026, the 68th Jaeger Brigade was transfered to Air Assault Forces and reformed as 68th Airmobile Brigade. The commander Lt. Col. Serhiy Tretyak was replaced by Semen Sykolov, who previously served as deputy commander of 25th Airborne Brigade.

Insignia

The brigade’s emblem features a golden wolverine holding a silver hatchet. This totemic predator symbolizes the region where the unit was formed—Prykarpattia—and its affiliation with jaeger formations. The battle cry on the emblem later became the brigade’s official honorary name.
