Ukraine’s Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said he signed an order to form assault and unmanned systems regiments within National Guard corps, as well as a separate regiment for airspace protection, according to a statement posted on Telegram on March 10.
“A significant number of units within the Interior Ministry system are directly performing combat missions on the front line. We constantly analyze their deployment, the changing nature of combat operations and our wartime experience to improve effectiveness,” the minister wrote.
According to him, the main goal of this step is to strengthen the capabilities of units on the battlefield, scale up the use of modern technologies and improve the effectiveness of countering aerial threats.
“This approach has already produced results. In particular, the corps reform within the structure of the Defense Forces carried out last year has shown its effectiveness during combat operations,” Klymenko said.
He also assured that the ministry will continue scaling combat experience and technological solutions to “save the lives of our soldiers and improve the effectiveness of combat missions.”
In April 2025, the National Guard created two corps led by the commanders of the Azov and Khartiia units.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
