Russian invasion of Ukraine

On 24 February, the brigade entered operations as part of the invasion of Ukraine,[20] operating in the area near Kharkiv. Troops of the brigade were seen operating roadblocks northeast of the city. A platoon sized element was seen entering the city on MT-LB's accompanied by a T-80 tank and anti-aircraft gun. They were later destroyed by a unit of the Ukrainian 93rd Mechanized Brigade. A column of BM-21 rocket artillery vehicles were also destroyed outside the city. [21] Pro-Ukrainian sources reported that the commander of the brigade's 382nd Separate Rocket Artillery Battalion, LtCol Dinar Khametov, was killed during the battle.[22] The brigade's artillery group continued to take further losses.[23]

By early-March, the brigade had suffered large losses and their commander, Col Denis Kurilo, was severely wounded and left the brigade.[24] Members of the unit were seen operating in Derhachi. It is likely two battalion tactical groups and its rocket artillery battalion were rather rendered combat ineffective during this time period. Deployed troops of the brigade suffered heavy casualties near Kharkiv with more than 30 units of equipment destroyed or captured.[25] The Governor of Murmansk Oblast regularly announced the deaths of prominent members of the brigade including Maj. Leonid Belyakov.[25] To replace the losses the brigade suffered, a battalion tactical group consisting of reservist, coastal troops, and sailors, reportedly with little combat training, was sent to Ukraine in July.[26]

It is estimated that by late May 2022, the brigade suffered heavy casualties and had fewer than 900 soldiers compared with more than 1,400 at the beginning of the invasion.[24] According to one source, as of December 2022, the brigade is visually confirmed to have lost 40% of its vehicles.[27] Kharkiv counteroffensive

By September 2022, Ukraine launched its counteroffensive in Kharkiv bringing the rest of the oblast under Ukrainian control. Following the Battle of Kupiansk, units from the brigade attempted to recapture the settlement, however, they were encircled by units of Ukraine's 92nd Mechanized Brigade and forced to retreat reportedly resulting in 30 killed and 10 wounded, including a company commander.[28]
