The 11th Army Corps (Ukrainian: 11-й армійський корпус) is a Corps of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.

History

[edit]

The 11th Army Corps was established as part of the ongoing military reforms within the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to available information, Ukraine formed the 9th and 10th army corps and restructured its Reserve Corps to the 11th Army Corps in 2023.[2] This shift intends to modernize the army and bring it closer to NATO standards, as emphasized by President Volodymyr Zelensky when he approved the plan for this reorganization.[3][4]

In July 2025, it was reported that Ukraine's Luhansk operational-tactical group [uk] had been reformed into the 11th Army Corps.[5]
