This is a rather sad tale:<\/p>\n

Address by the President of the Russian Federation<\/a> – Kremlin.ru, Feb 24 2022<\/p>\n

The purpose of this operation is to protect people who, for eight years now, have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the Kiev regime. To this end, we will seek to demilitarise and denazify Ukraine<\/strong>, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n

Official introduction of 153rd Mechanized<\/strong> Brigade<\/a> – Military Land<\/em>, Dec 27 2023<\/p>\n

Another brigade from the 150s batch makes an official appearance.<\/p>\n

On October 17, 2023, we reported<\/a> about the creation of five new Ukrainian mechanized brigades<\/strong> for the possible counter-offensive in 2024. The 151st Mechanized Brigade was officially revealed<\/a> on October 30 while 154th Mechanized Brigade on November 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today, the 153rd Mechanized Brigade<\/a> was publicly announced. The unit received its insignia and motto \u2013 the power of unconquered.<\/p>\n

Russian Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu held a conference call with the leadership of the Armed Forces<\/a> (machine translation) – Ministry of Defense, Apr 2 2024<\/p>\n

Since January, the armed forces of Ukraine have lost<\/strong> more than 80 thousand servicemen, 14 thousand units of various weapons, including more than one thousand two hundred tanks and other armored combat vehicles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

153rd Mechanized Brigade is no longer mechanized<\/a> – Military Land<\/em>, Apr 3 2024<\/p>\n

The lack of vehicles forced Ukrainian command to back down from the original plans.<\/p>\n

The leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has reorganized the 153rd Mechanized Brigade into an infantry brigade<\/strong>. This change was announced through the official social media channels of the brigade.<\/p>\n

While the official reason behind the change remains undisclosed, it is presumably linked to the shortage of infantry fighting vehicles.<\/strong>
\n…
\nThe reorganization of the 153rd Brigade may not be an isolated occurrence. According to our sources, the 152nd Mechanized Brigade is also slated for transformation into an infantry brigade in the near future.<\/p>\n
