Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
According to Syrsky, the 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skala" is one of the units that is extremely successful in using active defense tactics and destroying the Russian occupiers.
The Commander-in-Chief recalled that through the efforts of "Skala" Ukraine is not the first time that it has regained control over territories captured by the enemy.

This was the case 3 years ago in Izyum, during the Kharkiv offensive operation, and this was the case this spring in the area of the village of Shevchenko near Pokrovskoye.
During a working trip to the troops, I awarded the servicemen of the 425th Regiment with honorary decorations of the Commander-in-Chief. Soldiers, sergeants, officers, you fulfill your tasks with honor. Ukraine believes in you, and you can always be relied on. Once again, I express my sincere gratitude to you.
