3rd International Battalion

The 3rd International Battalion is the third linear unit of the Azov Brigade. The brigade was formed on 24 December 2022 after the brigade had begun to rebuild itself after its defeat during the Siege of Mariupol. The battalion was sent into combat in the Serebryansky Forest throughout 2023, continuing to serve almost until the first half of 2024. In May 2024, the battalion stated on its social media that the battalion had undergone reformation with the battalion’s soldiers continuing to perform combat missions elsewhere within the brigade. The social media pages and the unit itself became inactive. On 23 December 2024, the battalion was redesignated as the 3rd International Battalion after officially allowing foreigners to join its ranks.
