Assault troops are being created in Ukraine

The Head of State drew attention to the fact that we have already established assault battalions and regiments, which have demonstrated excellent results this year.

And we decided that we needed to go into the legal realm. The Russians decided to do the same thing as us. We will now create separate assault troops, this decision has been made.

The Ukrainian leader also noted that preparations are currently underway for the official announcement of this decision.

"Everything is being prepared, and I think in about a week or ten days everything will be working," predicts Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

According to the President of Ukraine, the Assault Forces will definitely have a "drone component."

As mentioned earlier, in June 2024, Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree approving the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to create the Unmanned Systems Forces within the structure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
