Azov presents: The Good. The Bad. The Ugly. With no fuel left, the Russians are resorting to other means to storm positions in First Corps Azov’s area of responsibility. The Ukrainian Defense Forces try not to kill the donkeys. No one made any promises to armed riders, however. The Ukrainian Wild East is no place for Russian occupiers. We are ready to shoot many more films like this one, but do you really want to star in them, amigos?

Occupiers Have Lost the Ability to Use the Port of Mariupol As a result of a joint operation conducted by the First Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine Azov, the Main Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, the Special Operations Center «A», and the Unmanned Systems Forces, critical infrastructure facilities of the Mariupol Commercial Port were destroyed. Electrical substations, radar equipment, repair infrastructure, the control tower, and fuel and lubricant storage tanks were hit, as well as the sanctioned dry cargo vessel Lady Augusta, which is part of Russia's shadow fleet. Through the coordinated efforts of all units involved, the enemy has suffered another painful blow. The Mariupol Sea Commercial Port has been left without power, and Russian military logistics have been significantly disrupted. Azov continues to monitor logistics capabilities and enforce sanctions against Russians in the Sea of Azov region. Glory to Ukraine!

Azov returns to Mariupol. For now, through reconnaissance-strike systems. Pilots of First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine patrol roads up to 160 km deep behind the line of contact. In the cameras of reconnaissance-strike drones: Mariupol and enemy military targets. Enemy forces are using Ukrainian roads in the city and its outskirts to move personnel and military hardware. First Corps Azov continues to establish a "sanitary zone" for Russian logistics. The strike depth will increase. Azov is already patrolling its home city of Mariupol. From the skies — for now. But more is coming.

Azov patrols the border areas around Mariupol. Ukrainian territory must be free of Russian forces. The surest path to achieving this is pushing the "sanitization zone" for enemy logistics closer to Russia itself and occupied Crimea. Pilots of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine are already carrying out strikes on targets near the Russian border. The footage shows combat operations along the Mariupol–Taganrog and Mariupol–Volnovakha highways. There will be no safe Azov region for the occupiers.

The First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine maintains control over enemy logistics near Donetsk. Strike UAV pilots are targeting Russian logistics deep in the operational rear. Drone units maintain constant surveillance and fire control over all supply routes around Donetsk. Zuhres, Andriivka, Starobesheve, Horlivka, Lysychansk, and the Donetsk Ring Road — sustained UAV activity along these routes highlights the ineffectiveness of Russian airspace control. Until recently, Russian forces operated there with a sense of impunity. That is no longer the case. Any military target moving along roads around Donetsk will be destroyed. There is no safe rear area for the occupiers. There is nowhere to hide and no way to protect themselves.

А моя в «Азові» 👍🏻 Більшість з батьків навряд могли подумати, що їхні доньки будуть служити в армії, або готували їх до цього. Батько повсякчас хоче убезпечити свою доньку. Скільки б років їй не було: у 7 або 26 вона все одно — його донька. Але принципи, закладені з дитинства, любов до своєї країни і бажання діяти привели їхніх дочок до війська, де вони приймають важливі рішення, впроваджують нові підходи, рятують життя і змінюють саме уявлення про силу. Так, тато завжди вірив, що його донька виросте сильною. Але навіть не уявляв наскільки. Анкета за посиланням:

We're building up our prisoner exchange pool so our brothers-in-arms can come home. Russian commanders scare their own troops with promises of a living hell if captured. In reality, being captured is the best thing that can happen to any Russian who ends up in the area of responsibility of First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine. Most of those who came with these occupiers are already dead. Those who survived and laid down their arms are guaranteed proper treatment and eventual exchange for captured servicemembers of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

A massive Russian assault with the use of atypical vehicles captured on video! 5 destroyed armored vehicles, 8 demolished сars, 63 eliminated Russians, and 3 abandoned electric scooters — those were the results of the enemy’s failed assault on the positions of the 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov. Every day, Russian infantry tries to break through Ukrainian defense lines and gain a foothold in the half-destroyed buildings and basements or hide among the tree lines. Over the last few months of massive assaults, the enemy has lost many armored vehicles. That is why Russians are now widely using passenger cars, buggies, and even electric scooters. The video captures all types of Russian transport and their destruction. As is true for the whole frontline, the enemy has a significant advantage in infantry numbers in the Toretsk sector. That is why the attempted assaults are stopped while the Russians approach the Ukrainian Defense Forces infantry positions. Watch the new video to see how the pilots, artillerymen, and command of the 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov coordinate their efforts.

First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine. The First Year. The First Battle. Dobropillia Sector. On March 7, 2025, the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine was formed, with the Azov Brigade as its core. Four additional brigades became part of the corps: Burevii, Chervona Kalyna, Kara Dag, and Lubart. The corps was commanded by Hero of Ukraine, Colonel Denys "Redis" Prokopenko. In August, the corps was assigned a zone of responsibility in the Pokrovsk sector, where key events of the Battle for Donbas unfolded. Corps units, together with attached and subordinate forces, were tasked with halting and eliminating the enemy, who had broken through the defensive formations of Ukraine’s Defense Forces toward the settlement of Dobropillia. The corps command ensured effective coordination among units of the National Guard of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Air Assault and Assault Troops, the Unmanned Systems Forces, and other components of the Defense Forces. This coordinated effort made it possible to stabilize the situation in the sector. In the autumn, the General Staff calculated that during the counteroffensive operation, approximately 175 square kilometers of territory were liberated. In addition, nearly 195 square kilometers were cleared of enemy sabotage groups. Starting on August 4, when command and control of Defense Forces units in the Dobropillia sector was transferred to the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine, and up to the present day, the enemy has suffered significant losses. As of December 29, 2025, they amount to: • irrecoverable losses — 12,492 occupiers; • wounded — 8,346; • captured — 185 servicemen of the Russian armed forces. Over five months of the counteroffensive operation, a large amount of enemy equipment was destroyed or damaged: • 93 tanks; • 259 armored combat vehicles; • 314 artillery systems; • 1,821 units of light and heavy automotive equipment and motorcycles, including: – light vehicles — 618; – heavy vehicles — 33; – special-purpose vehicles — 43; – motorcycles and buggies — 1,127; • 3,579 UAVs of various types. The first major operation of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine served as practical confirmation that, under conditions of clear planning, unified command, and coordinated action by its units, the corps is capable of effectively countering the enemy, disrupting their operational and strategic plans, while preserving the lives of Defense Forces personnel. The year 2025 became a year of trials for the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine and, at the same time, a test of the effectiveness of the army corps system created to enhance planning and employment of forces. The Dobropillia operation became the corps’ first successful examination. New battles lie ahead, demanding willpower, discipline, and decisive action. Together — we are strong.

18+ Azov Fighters Are Clearing Donetsk Region of Occupiers — GoPro Footage From a Reconnaissance Platoon Each Russian assault leaves behind scattered remnants of enemy groups that must be tracked down and destroyed. In the harsh reality of frontline combat and drone warfare, only the most skilled fighters are sent on these clearing missions. These are the soldiers capable of silently neutralizing or capturing the enemy, while also bringing hope to Ukrainian civilians by evacuating them from the very front line. At the heart of their mission is a single goal: to free Ukrainian land from the occupiers. The new video features the reconnaissance platoon of the 2nd Battalion, 12th Azov Brigade in action in the Toretsk sector. The full video is already available on our YouTube channel. More to come.

"Need for Speed" with a bad end for the occupiers. A buggy and an armored car packed with Russian infantry were off to assault the Ukrainian Defense Forces’ positions in the Toretsk sector. The vehicles blew up on mines and were hit head-on by FPV drones. On their way, they were losing troops desperately begging the others to wait for them. The occupiers suffered heavy losses. The remnants of the enemy infantry dispersed across the ruins, where strike UAVs started hunting them down. The lack of armored vehicles forces the occupiers to attack using anything with four or even two wheels. The tactic makes their chances for elimination skyrocket.

86 Days of Defense. The Fifth Year in Captivity On May 20, 2022, the Mariupol garrison carried out the order of the supreme command: to preserve lives. Not only the lives of those who left the plant bearing arms, but also the lives of the wounded and civilians trapped under relentless airstrikes and shelling. Those who were ready to risk their own lives sacrificed their freedom for the sake of those who could not protect themselves. Fighting for your people to the last and leaving no one defenseless are the foundational principles by which Azov fights. The enemy holds no moral principles whatsoever, and all the declared mechanisms and guarantees provided have proven worthless. The fighters of the garrison, among them more than 700 servicemembers of Azov, are now entering their fifth year in inhumane conditions. We remember them and continue to fight for them every day, until every fighter who carried out the order and stood as a wall against the Russian advance in 2022 comes home. The order has been carried out. The fight goes on.
