The 125th Independent Heavy Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian army has deployed part of its forces to Volchansk in the north of Kharkiv to stop the Russian advance. According to the "North Wind" channel, Major Vladimir Fokin, the new commander of the 125th Heavy Mechanized Brigade, has arrived in Kharkiv. He previously commanded a battalion of the 3rd Independent Assault Brigade. He was promoted due to his outstanding performance.
Currently, the 125th Heavy Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian army is being used in separate parts, some in Zaporozhye Oblast, some in Sumy Oblast, and some in Kharkiv Oblast.
In fact, it's not just the 125th Heavy Mechanized Brigade; other elite Ukrainian brigades are also being split up for use. The purpose is to prevent the combat power from being too weak in any one operational direction. However, the downside after splitting up is obvious: the brigade structure is completely disrupted, making it impossible to form an integrated combat force.
