Skelya says it has come under Azov's operational command

The 425th Separate Assault Regiment Skelya has been placed under operational command of the First Corps of the Ukrainian National Guard, according to a spokesperson for the unit. While Skelya is not becoming part of the corps itself, its battalions and combined detachments will likely be consolidated to carry out a single combat order, as reported by Ukrainska Pravda.

This move comes as the Ukrainian Armed Forces seek to streamline their operations and better coordinate their efforts on the front lines. The regiment maintains that none of its units have been withdrawn from their positions, and that they will continue to carry out combat missions in designated areas. The unit's spokesperson emphasized that they view this as their contribution to strengthening the nation's defense, and reiterated their commitment to carrying out the orders they receive, without question.
