Full concentration. Everyone in their place.
We have made war a part of ourselves to master its every form. And having mastered it, to win.
We have devoted ourselves to the art of war and become the best at it.
Motorcyclists and infantry. Thwarted Russian assaults
A successful example of coordination among the Defense Forces in the Pokrovsk direction. Some detect, others destroy. Another thwarted Russian assault and saved Ukrainian lives.
"Your resilience, heroism, and determination make the liberation of Ukraine from the enemy possible."
Service members of the brigades Bureviy, Chervona Kalyna, and Kara Dag, part of First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine, received decorations from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi.
"I want to congratulate you on the anniversary of such renowned brigades as the 1st, 14th, and 15th, which have proven in combat their high level of readiness to defend our state, their true heroism and determination in carrying out combat missions, and their fidelity to their oath," the Commander-in-Chief stated.

June 4 — Day of Remembrance for Children Killed as a Result of Russia's Armed Aggression Against Ukraine.
A combination of words that cannot be conceived. A cruelty that cannot be imagined. Yet we see it every day, year after year: in Mariupol and Kherson, Kyiv and Kharkiv, across Ukraine.
Every time a Russian pilot gets into a cockpit, he should pray not to spill a single drop of a child's blood. Because innocent blood will always be avenged: no executioner will escape his fate.
We fight for our children, for our families, and we will never grow weary.
Service members of the brigades Bureviy, Chervona Kalyna, and Kara Dag received decorations on the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of their units' founding.
On June 1, 1994, the military units that later became the brigades Bureviy, Chervona Kalyna, and Kara Dag were officially established. Over 32 years, Ukraine and the missions of its defense forces have changed beyond recognition. But the best have always stepped forward to defend the state at its most critical moments, as these units did in 2014 and 2022.
Today, the brigades fight against the enemy as part of First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine. On this anniversary, fighters were presented with state awards and unit decorations from the Corps commander, Brigadier General Denys "Redis" Prokopenko. Among the awards: the Order for Courage, 3rd Class, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine distinctions Steel Cross and Cross of the Brave, and honorary firearms.
The commander congratulated the service members on the anniversary and thanked them for their dedicated service to Ukraine. Their valor, openness to innovation, and constant exchange of experience have been key to effectively countering the occupiers year after year.
More work lies ahead. More results to follow.
Brigades Bureviy, Chervona Kalyna, and Kara Dag — 32 Years: https://t.co/jnCiU7THDR
The combat effectiveness of First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine is built on the cohesion and high professionalism of its brigades. Today, three of the Corps’ brigades celebrate 32 years since their founding: the 1st Presidential Bureviy, the 14th Chervona Kalyna, and the 15th Kara Dag.
Careful planning, technological edge, and care for our fighters allow us to stay one step ahead. We face numerous enemy units, but together we stop and destroy them.
Each brigade began its journey separately. Now we stand together, destroying the occupiers and defending Ukraine.
Completely shutting down enemy logistics in Pokrovsk region if’s among our highest priorities
These are few drone footages pulled together which demonstrate our drone operators work. Advice to our enemy: just walk
Стріляють по цифрах, влучають точно в росіян: робота артилерії «Червоної Калини». За словами «просто робимо свою справу» стоять знищені позиції, ворожі групи, скупчення піхоти та техніки росіян.

The heroes of the past are an inspiration for present and future generations.
Every year on May 23, Ukrainians commemorate Heroes’ Day, honoring the memory of distinguished warriors and figures who gave their lives in the struggle for Ukrainian statehood.
The commemoration of Heroes on this day was established by a resolution of the Second Grand Assembly of the OUN in 1941.
During the occupation of Ukrainian lands, Heroes’ Day was observed underground. After 1991, it became possible to mark it openly. And the new war for Independence has compelled us to fully grasp the example set by the heroes of the past.
May we remember — and be worthy heirs to the struggle for the Ukrainian nation.
Wherever a Russian occupier sets foot, a mine explodes. This pattern is ideal, because every eliminated enemy infantryman means a thwarted offensive. Our sappers are working diligently to clear the Pokrovsk direction of the Russian presence
Not 4K, and not even Full HD. Drones of the our brigade capture the final moments of Russian occupiers. The picture is blurry and distorted by EW interference. The main thing to remember is that those in the frame are criminals and murderers subject to immediate elimination.
Our drones are turning the remnants of russian equipment and its passengers into scrap metal. This is exactly the demilitarization their leaders dreamed of. But there's a catch

In war, a person especially values whatever brings back the feeling of peacetime life.
Family traditions, cherished places, favorite hobbies, photographs from before the war, and the voices of loved ones over the phone after returning from combat. The things that give us strength and remind us of the meaning behind everything we do.
Each of us is sustained by love. For those we must protect. For those we need to return from captivity. For what shaped who we are and what we believe will shape our children. For life itself — life that must go on, despite the enemy’s efforts to extinguish it.
Love is stronger than anything. We have proven this countless times.
The Ukrainian infantryman is the most effective guarantor of the state's security and resilience.
May 6 marks Infantry Day in Ukraine. The infantryman is the backbone of the military. He holds the forward line of defense and fights the enemy face-to-face.
Today's war is high-tech, but the widespread use of drones and other means is not a replacement for infantry — it is a force multiplier for them. The infantryman employs cutting-edge technology and modern combat methods, yet his primary weapons remain courage, motivation, and training.
First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine takes pride in its infantrymen. It is from the infantry that the commanders of our units have traditionally risen. On the infantrymen rests both the corps' defensive line and Ukraine's future.
We have neither pity nor compassion for enemy, and we will destroy them to the very last one. Someday, life will return to all our cities. After all, life always prevails
While EW systems intercept drones and FPV pilots search for new frequencies, artillery operates 24/7. The artillerymen take the best of modern technєand combine it with firepower of their guns, along with their own hard work and sweat. This fiery mix scorches the enemy.
