brigade participated in combat

A battalion commander in Ukraine’s 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade, Oleksandr Shyrshyn, has resigned. He alleges that Ukraine’s military leadership has subjected his units to needless deaths and “stupid objectives.” Shyrshyn’s brigade, commonly called Magura, was constituted from scratch in 2022 to fight in Ukraine’s planned summer 2023 counteroffensive. Its servicemen received new, high-end Western equipment and training in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member nations. In 2024, the brigade participated in combat operations in Kursk. สล็อต
