The only Ukrainian unit to host the modernized T-64BM "Bulat" variant. (76 units as of October 2011). Served in the northern Lugansk front. The blogger novy chitatel on August 30th list this unit as the only battleworthy Ukrainian unit, but the information is wrong. The unit made a breakthrough to the encircled Lugansk airport in July 13th. the first column of 40 T-64 Bulat tanks and 10 other armored vehicles was destroyed, most likely at the intersection of the Lugansk ring road and the airport road west and south of the intersection.

The rest of the unit was destroyed at the end of August in Novosvetlovka and when the airport was finally stormed at the start of September.

This brigade is currently all the most experienced and efficient on the Ukrainian ground forces unit. One of the battalion took part in the breakthrough Krasny Luts direction and was able to retreat experiencing significant losses.

128th Mechanized Brigade

Encircled units
As of September 4th these encirclement have been defeated. The units no longer exist.

28th Mechanized Brigade
Chernomorskoe, Odessa region

Still relatively fresh. Though she was considered a "backup". How she is now capable technical question. Given the fact that mobilization part was completed by the Odessa ideological motivation of the units in question (maybe because of this kept in reserve).

Encircled in Kuteynikova in the Amvrosievka pocket on August 24th. Of one group of 150 soldiers who tried to break out of the pocket only 17 survived.

Battleworthy units
As of September 5th there are no known battleworthy units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Territorial battalions
The Wikipedia articles fail to explain the different between the National Guard and the newer Territorial battalions (the articles do not even link to each other). The National Guard does not operate as individual units except for the Praviy Sector Nazi battallions.

Regional battalions
As of August 27 the Territorial battalions are fleeing: The 5th Territorial Battalion from Ivano-Frankivsk left ATO on August 27 with 400 men and went home. No one in Ukraine could stop them on the way. The sources are not clear on what happened. The battalion stationed at Amvrosievka, but decided to leave. One article suggest they went through Russia, but that would be impossible with their weapons. I suggest NAF simply let them out on a promise they would pack up and drive home. NAF could not take their weapons because without them the junta would have arrested them half-way. The battalion commander was later arrested on charges of desertion.

The 40th Territorial Defence Battalion Krivbass from Krivoy Rog left the ATO territory on or prior to August 29, refusing to "carry out mindless orders".

Praviy Sector Volunteer Battalions
Controlled by Praviy Sector and Kolomoisky from same Dnepropetrovsk office. Officially part of "Territorial battalions".

 * Donbass
 * Aidar

 * Crimea

As of August 25, forces of all of these are trapped in pockets.

On August 29th 200-300 members of the 1st and 2nd company of Donbass battalion surrendered after retreating from Ilovaisk. Life News however reports that of the original 300-350 men only 108 survived to be taken prisoner.

The Crimea Battalion informs on Facebook that the "ATO" lost 500 men in total in the battle for Ilovaisk.

According to information from an Azov Battalion leader and others emerging out of Mariupol, in the late days of August Kolomoiski has withdrawn Dnipr-1, aka his "private army", from the loosely surrounded city.
