About Unit

Volunteer battalion formed from the members of Maidan Self-Defense units. Their training took place in the base of special force unit Bars, which participated against Maidan protesters. The first weeks were described by volunteers as one of the worst days in their lives. Even though resources were very limited, and many soldiers lacked bulletproof vests, helmets and heavy weapons such as RPGs, they did a huge amount of work and were praised by soldiers from regular units.

In 2023, the brigade was transferred to Bureviy Brigade.

Insignia

The unit’s insignia features a heraldic shield in green with a black border—symbols of struggle and rebirth. The central element is a stylized Trident (Tryzub) in the form of a lion, symbolizing the indomitable warriors fighting for the Trident. The inscription “Battalion named after General Kulchytskyi” signifies its affiliation with the National Guard of Ukraine and honors the memory of the hero.
