ATO awards?

Yes, and maybe "ООС" too, I don't know exactly, it's not very common awards.

There are awards of Commanders of Operational Tactical Groups "Luhansk", "Donetsk" and "Mariupol" "Honor. Courage. Valor."(Честь. Відвага. Доблесть.)

After the renaming of ATO to Joint Forces Operation (ООС) in 2018, there were also changes in the awards of commanders of Operational-Tactical Groups. There are Operational Tactical Groups "Luhansk", "Donetsk" and "Mariupol"

That's a lovely medal. What is the name of it? You will also get the Medal for the Defence of Ukraine too, and probably some city or regional ones too?

This is the medal for 10 years of service, next it will be for 15 years, like on image. As far to the Medal for the Defence of Ukraine maybe it will be after the war.

@Ura87if you don't mind me asking, could we see your own medal group (as long as it won't identify you)? I presume you're fighting this war too and I commend you. I'm currently doing refugee work on the Romanian-Ukrainian border helping Ukrainians. 

Thank's for your help. I serve in police and I do not fight yet. In my record only one medal for long service, for second I was mentioned in order but I don't received it yet.

There are Operational Tactical Groups "Donetsk", "Luhansk" and "Mariupol".

In 2015, the awards of the commanders of combat sectors appeared, one of them I showed on 1st page. They often changed, so there are many of them. There are sectors "А", "Б", "Д", "М" and "С". Later, the sectors were replaced by Operational Tactical Groups of the ATO, then the Joint Forces Operation (JFO / ukr. OOC), I will show them later.

Badge of the City Council of Netishyn "For Honor and Courage" (За честь і мужність). It's not just for veterans, but this award is for them too

First, Thanks for sharing.

 

I do find this thread very interesting since the conflict is ongoing and so fresh in all of our minds.

 

Not pertaining to this thread, but since there are experts on the region, have there been any thoughts on the awards from the Russian perspective with the current conflict?

In 2022, the russian guard established its medal for participation in the war, but I do not want to spread it. There are also many medals of pseudo-republics from 2014 to 2022.

It will be Medal "for the Defence of Ukraine" for civilians.

Hi. As far as I know it's not synthetic, it's cellulose. The most common were three types of ribbon, like in your collection, other I never saw. I would say it made in the middle of 1900th, this is indicated by the red and white ribbon to the Jubilee Cross 1908, and until WWI because reduced ribbon began to be used during this period.

New badge "Christmas in the trenches 2022".

I heard that some volunteers are getting the Order for Courage 3rd class, maybe anybody received The Medal For Military Service to Ukraine.
