The 25th Public Security Protection Brigade named after Prince Askold (Ukrainian: 25-та бригада охорони громадського порядку імені князя Аскольда) is a division within the Northern Operational-Territorial Command of the National Guard of Ukraine. Its headquarters is located in Kyiv.

History

In 1966, in accordance with the decision of the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR, the 1st Special Motorized Police Regiment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR was formed. On 2 January 1992 the 2nd regiment of the National Guard of Ukraine was founded, which became part of the 1st Kyiv Division [uk]. In 1995, the regiment was subordinated to the Internal Troops of Ukraine where it was renamed into the 10th special motorized regiment. In 2014, the brigade became part of the newly restored National Guard of Ukraine. 30 September is considered the professional holiday of the unit.[1]
