The 41st Mechanized Brigade (Ukrainian: 41 окрема механізована бригада) is a brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.
History
In the spring of 2024, the 41st Mechanized Brigade took part in the combat at Chasiv Yar in Donetsk Oblast, and in the summer it fought on the Toretsk front.[1] The 41st Brigade was rotated to Toretsk and Niu-York to replace the 24th Mechanized Brigade, but was not able to hold the positions that it had inherited from the 24th Brigade. As a result, Russian forces managed to overrun a defensive line that previous Ukrainian forces had defended for 2.5 years.[2]
During October 2024, it was reported that the brigade was taking part in the Ukrainian operation in Russia's Kursk Oblast.[3][4][5]
