Insignia

The brigade’s sleeve insignia featuring the heraldic symbolism of Hetman Petro Doroshenko’s coat of arms. The main elements—a cross and a crescent—are placed within a heraldic shield, beneath which lies a Cossack saber, the primary cold weapon of the Cossacks. The Cossack cross is one of the most well-known symbols of Ukrainian knighthood and the military, while the crescent represents the ability to fight at night.
