The 14th Chervona Kalyna Brigade (MUN 3028) (Ukrainian: Червона Калина, romanized: Red Guelder Rose) is an assault brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine formed on the basis of the 8th operational regiment.
History
In January 2024 the unit, in conjunction with The New Voice of Ukraine had a fundraiser for the creation and equipment of a sniper unit.[6] As with most units of the offensive guard, one of the primary sources for personnel are volunteers from the Kyiv Oblast.[1] The unit has primarily seen combat along the Zaporizhzhia front, performing defensive actions there alongside reconnaissance activities in July 2024.[3][2] Namely, the unit has been repelling Russian assaults on Mala Tokmachka and Shcherbaky and primarily combat Russian drones to assist other unit along the front, as well as more traditional defensive efforts.[2] The unit has also seen combat in the Pokrovsk offensive in August 2024.[4]
