🎖 About Khartia

Khartia is one of the most formidable brigades in the National Guard of Ukraine. In just three years, it has transformed from a volunteer unit into a core force within the National Guard.

From leading the liberation of Kharkiv Oblast, to being the sole volunteer unit defending Bakhmut, to executing successful operations in Donetsk, Kupiansk-Lyman, and the Serebrianske Forest — Khartia has proven its strength on every front.

In 2024, the brigade thwarted a new enemy offensive in the Kharkiv region. By 2025, they had already liberated over 200 hectares of territory, steadily pushing russian forces back to the border.
