About Unit

95th Separate Polesian Air Assault Brigade is a military unit of Ukrainian Air Assault Troops formed in 1992. The brigade was one of the first to be deployed to repel Russian aggression in 2014. Prior to Russian full-scale invasion in February 2022, 95th Air Assault Brigade was considered to be the best Ukrainian brigade. In summer 2022, Ukrainian command decided to use the brigade to plug a hole in defense in Luhansk Oblast. The brigade successfully held the area and delayed the enemy long enough, but at the cost of de-facto losing all offensive potential.
