35th Marine Brigade (Ukraine)

The 35th Marine Brigade named after Rear Admiral Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi, is a marine infantry brigade of the Ukrainian Marine Corps formed on 24 May 2018 in Dachne, Odesa Oblast.

History

During a 2022 Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Kherson Oblast, units of the 35th Brigade crossed the Inhulets River on 2 October 2022, establishing a bridgehead, from which they captured the village of Davydiv Brid two days later on 4 October.
The 35th Marine Brigade participated in the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive. The unit formed part of the spearhead on the Velyka Novosilka front alongside the 25th Airborne and 68th Jaeger brigades, as well as two units of Territorial Defense. The 2,000 man strong brigade punched a hole in Russian lines liberating the village of Makarivka. Later the unit posted photos of its troops raising the Ukrainian flag over, and then posing in front of the municipal building of the village of Storozheve. Together with the 38th Marine Brigade, they liberated the village of Urozhaine on 16 August 2023.
On 1 November 2025, a Russian Iskander missile strike on a military base in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast hit an awards ceremony that commemorated the anniversary of one of the brigade's battalions. The losses were reported as at least twelve dead, thirty-six wounded, and six missing, including experienced drone pilots and soldiers. The Ukrainian State Bureau of Investigation opened a criminal investigation to see if air raid precautions were followed. The battalion's commander was charged with negligence on 3 November.
