Support AZOV is the only official charitable foundation that meets the needs of the Third Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The 3rd Separate Assault Brigade is a volunteer unit created on the basis of the SOF AZOV-Kyiv Regiment.
In February-March 2022, it liberated Irpin, Bucha, Gostomel, Moshchun, Vasylkiv, Vorzel, Pushcha-Vodytsia, Liutizh, Stoyanka, and Horenka from the occupiers. In March 2022, under the leadership of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, the brigade conducted an airborne operation to break through the blockade of Mariupol.
Since January 2023, the brigade has been actively fighting in the hottest part of the front lines—the city of Bakhmut. During the offensive, the units of the 72nd Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade and the assault units of the Wagner PMC suffered heavy losses. A large number of enemy armored vehicles were destroyed.
