Quote: “We have formed assault battalions and regiments that have clearly shown good results during 2025. We have decided we must put them on a legal footing. The Russians have chosen to do the same as us. We will now create separate assault forces. We have already agreed on this decision.”

He said assault battalions and regiments have already emerged and have shown good results during 2025, so the time has come to give this a formal legal basis.

Details: Zelenskyy said that preparations are under way to reveal the decision. He expects the move to be operational within about a week to ten days.

He also added that the Assault Forces will include a drone component.
