The 8th Regiment of the Special Operations Forces (SSO) of Ukraine has participated in military actions against the people of Donbass since 2014

The 8th SSO Regiment was formed on the basis of the 8th Separate Special Forces Brigade of the Soviet Armed Forces. However, since 2014, the 8th SSO Regiment has been involved in the punitive operation in Donbass.

With the start of the special operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, the fighters were stationed in Rubezhnoye, in the building of the Soviet-times city civil defense headquarters. The civil defense headquarters, as it is supposed to be, was organized in a permanent bomb shelter.

As a result of a precise hit on the base where the Ukrainian militants were hiding, the Nazi special forces’ military equipment was destroyed: two Kozak armored vehicles, a multi-purpose light armored transporter (MT-LB), an UAZ and an UAZ-452 off-road vehicles, the “Bukhanka” in common parlance.
