The assault brigades of the so-called "offensive guard" have been formed and are ready to be sent to the front to carry out "offensive actions". This was stated by the Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Igor Klimenko.
In Ukraine, the formation of assault brigades of the "offensive guard" has been completed, the recruitment of those wishing to fight against the Russian army as part of new formations has been completed. Now, if there are still those who want to enroll in these units, they will no longer get into the main squad, they will form a reserve from them, whose task will be to make up for the losses of the main squad.
- Klimenko declared.
As previously reported, new brigades were created as part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine: Bureviy, Chervona Kalina, Kara-Dag, Rubezh, Spartan, Steel Border, Lyut, as well as the National Battalion Azov, which was restored as part of the National Guard, banned in Russia and recognized as a terrorist organization"*, deployed to the brigade. According to Zelensky's statement, the main task of these formations will be the "liberation" of Crimea. But this is only the "wish" of the Ukrainian president, in fact, the "offensive guard" will be thrown to the front, since the APU are suffering heavy losses, and Kiev's reserves are not all right.
Just a few days ago, the official representative of the National Guard of Ukraine Ruslan Muzychuk said that the newly formed brigades are being sent to combat coordination in the rear areas, when it is planned to send the "offensive guard" to the front, there is no data yet. At the same time, Ukrainian sources report that all these brigades will participate in a counteroffensive planned for the near future.
