23th Separate Mechanized Brigade
The brigade was formed on February 28, 2023. In June 2023, it participated in the liberation of the village of Novodarivka and the battles for Robotyne.
Since November 2023, the brigade's units have been fighting in the Avdiivka direction, successfully repelling the enemy's advance.
During the offensive of Russian troops on Kharkiv in the summer of 2024, individual units of the brigade participated in repelling the attack and containing the enemy on the approaches to the city. At the same time, the main forces of the 23rd brigade conducted active combat operations in the area of Chasovy Yar and Toretsk, Donetsk region. Since the beginning of November 2024, the brigade has been defending the country in the direction of Kurakhove, confronting superior enemy forces and slowing down their further advance with incredible efforts.
ARMBAND:
The brigade's emblem depicts a golden bow with crossed golden arrows, above which is a silver eight-pointed star.
This symbol was used on the seal of the Samara palanquin of the Zaporizhzhia Army, which emphasizes the heritage of the fighting traditions of the Ukrainian Cossacks.
The bow and arrows symbolize strength, speed and accuracy, and the star symbolizes the desire for victory and the honor of the soldiers defending Ukraine. Gold and silver in heraldry mean valor, wisdom and indomitability of spirit, which fully corresponds to the character of the brigade.
