About Unit

14th Mechanized Brigade is a unit of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.

The unit was formed in December 2014, following an announcement on September 22, 2014, by then Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko who announced the 51st Mechanized Brigade’s disbandment, with a new mechanized brigade to be formed in its place, which would become the 14th Mechanized Brigade. The brigade was formed heavily from the brigade’s previous scouts, tankers, engineers, and anti-tank units, alongside other newly created units and volunteers.

The brigade represented Ukraine several times at the Strong Europe tank competition, once in 2017 and again in 2018.

The deputy commander of the brigade, Lt. Col. Vasyl Lapchuk, was killed on September 20, 2024, as a result of a Russian rocket attack on Ukrainian positions near Dobropillia in Donetsk Oblast.
