[Korrespondent] The Armed Forces of Ukraine have begun an active transition to a corps command system. Three new units have been created in a month. In most armies, corps are task organized. The Russians have a corps system their selves, and their armies are a type of corps. It works for them, and we will get to see how the new corps are assigned.
Three army corps have been officially created in the Ukrainian army. The first began functioning in mid-March on the basis of the Third Assault Brigade. Two more were created this month in the National Guard from the Charter Brigade and the 12th Azov Brigade. They are headed by Colonel Igor Obolensky (Kornet) and Colonel Denis Prokopenko (Redis).
Now these army corps will have their own headquarters, reconnaissance, artillery and logistics units. This, as explained by the commander of the National Guard Oleksandr Pivnenko, will increase their independence in carrying out combat missions without the need for constant involvement of the high command at such stages.
CORPS STRUCTURE OF THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE
In general, an army corps is a permanent unit consisting of several brigades. A corps may include from two to five brigades, and the number of personnel varies from 10 to 50 thousand or more fighters, depending on the country, type of troops and tasks.
Army corps emerged with the emergence of mass armies, when the spatial scope of military operations increased and the management of military formations with numerous combat personnel and diverse weapons became more complex.
Their creation is also due to the need to have formations capable of solving combat missions in an independent operational direction.
It is currently common knowledge that the Armed Forces of Ukraine include: the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th Army Corps, the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Airborne Assault Troops and the 30th Marine Corps of the Navy. However, the number of formed corps is growing, because currently the Armed Forces of Ukraine have more than one hundred brigades of various purposes.
Each corps consists of 4-5 mechanized (airborne assault, infantry) brigades, a reconnaissance regiment or battalion, and other separate combat and logistical units. The corps is commanded by a major general, chief and deputy chief of staff, and brigadier generals.
As for the newly created, Azov has now become the First Corps of the National Guard. It includes:
1st Presidential Operational Brigade Bureviy;
12th Special Purpose Brigade Azov;
14th Operational Brigade Chervona Kalina;
15th Operational Brigade Kara-Dag;
the newly created 20th Operational Brigade Lyubart.
It should be noted that the Third Assault Brigade became the Third Corps, and the Charter, accordingly, the Second. There are no other details regarding their composition.
AN UNPLEASANT LESSON
The Ukrainian army began actively switching to a corps-based command structure in February of this year.
"We are taking into account the challenges of the time and are working to strengthen the army even in the current difficult conditions. The reform of the organizational structure of the Armed Forces continues. We have begun implementing measures to transition to a corps structure," explained the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Sirsky.
It should be noted that the reform of the organizational structure of the Ukrainian army by merging the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades into corps already took place in 2023 with the formation of the 9th and 10th army corps. However, after the Zaporizhzhya offensive operation, the brigades subordinated to the newly created corps continued to fight separately in various sections of the front as part of operational-tactical groups.
Probably, the new wave of creation of army corps is aimed at completing the formation of the organizational core with the gradual transfer of combat brigades under its control.

[Regnum] Russian Armed Forces soldiers in the Sudzhansky District of the Kursk Region, after liberating the territory from militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), discovered the decapitated body of a girl. This was reported on April 17 by a Russian attack aircraft with the call sign Dobry.
“The girl, she is under 10 years old, had her head cut off,” aif.ru quoted him as saying. Sounds like something the Chechens would do.
Dobry also reported that his fellow soldiers in the area found the bodies of five murdered children.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, there is a lot of evidence of crimes committed by Ukrainian Armed Forces units against civilians during the invasion of the border areas of the Kursk region. On March 23, the Russian Investigative Committee reported receiving evidence of shooting people in the region by Ukrainian soldiers. The militants also set fire to residential buildings and looted.
On April 9, the International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Formations and Their Accomplices presented a report that confirms that the Ukrainian Armed Forces systematically killed and robbed civilians in the Kursk region, and also destroyed houses, churches, and hospitals. The report contains testimonies from residents of the region.
On April 8, a Russian court found three Ukrainian soldiers guilty of committing terrorist attacks in the Sudzhansky District of the Kursk Region. They were sentenced to imprisonment for terms ranging from 16 to 17 years.

Chechens or Arabs, most definitely Muslims. I heard rumors of UKR reach out to jiahadis, at some point in the last year or so I was hearing that HTS received UAVs from Kiev in exchange for mercenaries.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] ZALA "Lancet" deprived the Ukrainian Armed Forces of more than 120 T-64 tanks.
The T-64 has become the most common tank in the Ukrainian army. According to open sources, since the beginning of the Second Military Operation, the ZALA Lancet reconnaissance and strike system has destroyed 121 T-64 tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The coordinates of enemy equipment are received by operators of the Lancet loitering munitions in real time from the ZALA Z-16 reconnaissance UAVs. Due to their high maneuverability, high-quality video signal, and the use of modern control and navigation algorithms, the Lancets are capable of attacking armored vehicles from an unexpected direction, striking at weakly protected areas, which often leads to the detonation of ammunition.
The T-64 tank, developed in the 1960s, has become one of the main fighting vehicles of the armored forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited hundreds of such tanks, which were modernized to the T-64BV, T-64BM "Bulat" and other versions.
These tanks are distinguished by combined armor, a 125-mm gun and relatively high mobility. During the modernization, the latest versions of combat vehicles also received modern thermal imagers, a satellite navigation system, a digital radio station and updated dynamic protection. According to Ukrainian media, at the beginning of the Second World War, the Ukrainian army had about 800 active T-64 tanks in service.
We present a selection of footage of objective control of the use of Lancets against T-64 tanks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
It's good that the "Lancets" were tested on militants in Syria. Without them, it would have been more difficult for us on the Ukrainian front.
