The advance of two armies and a tank division of the Russian armed forces was repelled: forces of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine destroyed dozens of units of equipment and a large number of occupier personnel. On July 22, the occupiers, using forces of the 8th and 41st Armies along with the 90th Tank Division, attempted an assault in the sector held by the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine, involving dozens of units of armored and light vehicles. The 41st Guards Combined Arms Army and the 90th Guards Vitebsk-Novgorod Tank Division of the Russian armed forces advanced from the area of the settlement of Novoekonomichne, while forces of the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army simultaneously advanced from the area of the village of Vozdvyzhenka. For four hours, they attempted to enter settlements in the area of the village of Shakhove. The enemy attempted to deny the sky to Ukrainian forces using "Gerbera" and "Lancet" strike drones. A modern Russian "Tornado-S" MLRS, which was being used to support the assault, was also destroyed. Forces of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine, together with attached units, blocked the path of the advancing mechanized columns. Mine-explosive obstacles were laid on the approaches to the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, and bridges were damaged by tactical aviation. During the assault, the Russians attempted to restore the crossings using pontoons, but these were destroyed by tactical aviation of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). As a result of the professional actions of all units involved under the command of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine, using barrel artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, and attack drones, the following were destroyed: 7 tanks, 6 armored combat vehicles, 1 BM-21 "Grad" MLRS, 1 "Tornado-S" MLRS, 3 units of special equipment, and 47 units of light vehicles. 123 occupiers were eliminated, and 29 were wounded. The mechanized assault was repelled. We thank the units of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine, the SBU's "A" Special Operations Center, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Air Force of the AFU, units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, in particular the Main Department of Unmanned Aerial Systems "Fenix," units of the National Guard of Ukraine, and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for their professional and courageous actions. Always ready to repel the enemy's assault through joint efforts!

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.

Operation “Inferno.” How it happened. Oil products are the lifeblood of war. To supply their occupation forces, the russians spent a long time building a network of logistics hubs that they considered safe from Ukrainian attacks. UAV operators of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine disrupted the enemy’s plans. After conducting thorough reconnaissance, they targeted a secret base in Novoamvrosiivka with high-precision strikes from Hornet drones. Fuel tanks and the base’s infrastructure were damaged, and the railroad tracks were blocked. The strike on the storage facility has now made life difficult for the occupiers. But most importantly, they are forced to abandon the base and move their logistics out of the occupied territories to russia. And they must constantly look up at the sky. There will be no safe place for the enemy in Ukraine.

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!

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:

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?

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.

А мій в «Азові» 💖 Бабусі мріють, аби онуки були поруч із ними, час від часу допомагали по господарству та частіше приїздили у гості. Коли ж онуки беруть на себе відповідальність за долю країни, бабусі мудро зберігають спокій, бо знають, що так хлопцям буде набагато легше. А ще вони щотижня надсилають баночку варення, домашню випічку і яблука з рідного саду з коротким підписом: «Люблю тебе, рідненький». Проста турбота, яка говорить більше ніж слова.

Azov is the warmth of a mother's hands — the smiles of loved ones gathered at the holiday table. It's the tenderest embrace of someone you love, the joyful laughter of children playing by the house. It's a parent's support — their unwavering belief that everything will work out for us. Azov is the joy of reuniting with those closest to your heart. And it's a song passed down through the family, sung from generation to generation. Azov is thousands of stories, faces, and names — care and memory. Cherished words spoken only in a whisper. It's the blue-and-yellow flag, and the beauty of our native language. Azov is Mariupol, Kyiv, and Donetsk. It's Crimea and the Carpathians — Luhansk and Chernivtsi, Dnipro and Lutsk. It's Ukraine's fields, mountains, and forests. It's the Sea of Azov — and the taste of apricots on a summer day in the Donbas. Azov is all of Ukraine — everything we defend, day after day. Azov is love.

"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.
