About Unit

3rd Assault Brigade is a unit of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, formed in late August 2022, and finalized between November 2022 and January 2023. The brigade was formed on the basis of Azov-SSO and other Azov territorial defense units, which had been formed in February and March 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The unit has participated extensively in some of the most brutal battles of the conflict, fighting in and around Bakhmut in areas such as Klishchiivka and Andriivka; alongside Avdiivka and currently fighting in the Kharkiv region. It is often referred to as one of the most ‘elite’ brigades in the Ukrainian Ground Forces for its experienced staff and fighters.

On March 14, 2025, 3rd Army Corps was formed on its basis, with Biletskiy being transferred to the command of the Corps. The commander of the 1st Mechanized Battalion, callsign “Bot”, was transferred to the position of brigade commander.

Insignia

The central element of the brigade’s insignia is a stylized “Idea of the Nation” symbol—three golden slashes. Since ancient times, this sign has been associated with military courage, reflecting the brigade’s name, ideology, and specialization.

“Bot”

Going by the callsign “Bot”, he joined the ranks of Right Sector in 2014. Later in 2015, as a volunteer with the Donbas Battalion, he participated in the Pavlopil-Shyrokyne offensive. In February 2022, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he joined Azov-SSO and took lead in the separate reconnaissance platoon of the 1st Battalion. Later, as the unit was reformed into the 3rd Assault Brigade; he was assigned the position of commander for the 1st Mechanized Battalion.

In May 2025, he was transferred to the position as the commander of the 3rd Assault Brigade while Biletskiy moved to the position of the 3rd Army Corps commander.
