Another failed attempt by the occupiers to break through toward Dobropillia

One tank, nine MT-LBs, an armored recovery vehicle, four quad bikes, and a bridge-laying vehicle were involved. The enemy advanced simultaneously along several routes, and another hostile armored group was destroyed.

The remaining enemy personnel are being eliminated at this very moment.

The 12 enemy armored vehicles destroyed today are only part of the occupiers’ losses in the Dobropillia sector. Very soon, the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine will announce the confirmed total losses of the Russian Armed Forces in the Dobropillia area in its year-end summary.

We thank all units in the corps’ defense zone for their contribution to repelling enemy attacks — primarily the troops of the separate special forces unit of the National Guard “Lasar’s Group” and the Unmanned Systems Forces.

FAQ

Unlike the operational and tactical group model, a corps commander can exercise command and control over subordinate units.

The corps system enables more efficient management of combat forces at the operational-tactical level. It addresses the issue of fragmented command structures, strengthens unit cohesion, improves combat effectiveness, and ensures a unified chain of command — critical for conducting large-scale combat operations.

The First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine is responsible for key tasks related to both defensive and offensive operations in the frontline sector designated by the High Command, including:

Liberating the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine;
Destroying enemy personnel and equipment;
Increasing the combat effectiveness of National Guard units and advancing the profession of arms;
Implementing standards and exchanging experience.

The First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine is commanded by Colonel Denys “Redis” Prokopenko.

The following units operate as part of the corps:

1st Presidential Operational Brigade Bureviy;
12th Special Forces Brigade Azov;
14th Operational Brigade Chervona Kalyna;
15th Operational Brigade Kara Dag;
Newly established 20th Operational Brigade Liubart.

Yes. Units within the corps continue recruiting volunteers. As Azov’s responsibilities and operational scope grow, its recruitment center network will serve the needs of all Corps units. Azov Brigade’s recruitment centers will now be joined by representatives from other brigades that make up the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine.

The 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov serves as the foundation for the newly established First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine. However, the corps itself is led by a corps-level command group formed based on the officer cadre of the 12th Brigade.
