Battle Order's YT channel has great some really great information about the militaries of various nations. This video is should be informative for the interested CMBS player. View Primer to Ukraine�s Ground Army

Thanks OldSarge for the update, have been hoping for some time that Battle Order would do something about the current Ukraine forces and their rapid changes since 2014.
The four military districts of the Ukrainian army mentioned in the video can be further complimented with the PDF article (The Order Of Battle Of The Ukrainian Armed Forces) in the link below. It shows the make up the Garrisons,Brigades and their locations, Commander leaders etc for 2016.

The discussion in the Battle Order video of the 25th Airborne Brigade is interesting it shows a photo at the the 7.00 minute mark of soldiers from that airborne brigade sitting on their IFV's (BMD-1 & BMD-2 etc) near Kramatorsk during the Siege of Sloviansk. Six of the vehicles were captured by insurgents and some of the Ukrainian soldiers defected to the separatist cause. The captured vehicles were then sent to reinforce Donbass People's Militia positions in Sloviansk and were seen driving around Sloviansk with the flags of Russia and Donbass People's Militia Flag. Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov announced at the time that the 25th Airborne Brigade would be disbanded. But this decision was canceled later on and the Brigade has continued an active role in eastern Ukraine.

Thanks for the link to the PDF, very helpful. It talks about NATO efforts to reform Ukraine's military into a modern, professional force. Time for me to do more research.
