In brief
One of the Ground Forces' four territorial operational commands, covering the east. The 2025–26 corps reform placed the new army corps beneath the four commands rather than abolishing them; the corps under this command are reported (the 20th Army Corps among them) but are not carried as records, so the command's tree ends here by design.

- Notable history
- One of the four territorial operational commands of the Ground Forces, a peacetime structure that the full-scale war did not abolish. Since 2022 the fighting has been directed through joint and operational-strategic groupings of forces, which this atlas does not carry as records, while the commands kept the regional layer of the service — territory, force generation and the formations based in it. The 2025–26 corps reform placed the new army corps beneath the four commands rather than replacing them; which corps sit under which command is reported, not published as a list.
- Strengths
- The command layer over the sector where most of the Ground Forces fight; public reporting places at least one of the new army corps (the 20th, formed March 2025) beneath it.
- Limitations
- Wartime boundaries, the list of corps beneath it and its share of operational direction against the groupings of forces are not published, so the command is visible chiefly as a name in Ukrainian statements; nothing about dispositions or strength is authored.
