The 3rd Separate Assault Brigade (Ukrainian: 3-тя окрема штурмова бригада, romanized: 3-tia okrema shturmova bryhada) is a brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces formed in 2023. It is considered one of Ukraine's most elite military units, and is mostly composed of combat veteran volunteers from other Ukrainian units. In 2025, it formed the foundation for the newly-formed 3rd Army Corps, which the brigade is now a part of.
The brigade was established by a merger of the Azov SSO (Special Operations Forces) units that had been created by former Azov Battalion veterans and local volunteers in Kyiv, Sumy and Kharkiv in reaction the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The brigade was commanded by Andriy Biletsky, founder and former commander of the Azov Battalion and former People's Deputy of Ukraine.
The 3rd Brigade gained broader public attention through the Mstyslav Chernov documentary 2000 Meters to Andriivka, which follows its operations during the fighting near Andriivka during the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive.
