Six units. Different combat paths. One story of the struggle for Ukraine.

This project is dedicated to six military units whose history is bound up with the defense of Ukraine and of the Zaporizhzhia axis.

The Department of Veterans Policy and the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Zaporizhzhia City Council initiated this project to gather, organize and preserve information about the units' combat paths, their role in the defense of Ukraine and the events that took place on the Zaporizhzhia axis.

The project presents the stories of the 128th Separate Mountain Assault "Zakarpatska" Brigade, the 260th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade "Khortytsia" of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the 55th Separate Artillery Brigade, the 27th River Boat Division, the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade "Velykyi Luh" and the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade.

Behind each name is its own combat path, its trials, its decisions and the people who became part of the modern military history of Ukraine.

The aim of the project is to tell the history and combat path of these units, to show their part in the defense of Ukraine, in particular on the Zaporizhzhia axis, and to preserve the memory of the events and the people who are making this history.

The project is meant to make military history more accessible to the residents of Zaporizhzhia, to help them better understand the course of events on our axis and to preserve important testimony for future generations.

We remember the combat path. We record history. We preserve memory.
