The 225th Separate Assault Regiment (Ukrainian: 225 Окремий штурмовий полк) is an assault regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In March 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the unit was first formed as the 225th battalion of the 127th Territorial Defense Brigade, established in Kharkiv. It was initially deployed in the Kharkiv region and, later, in Bakhmut. After engaging in the battles of Bakhmut in the winter/spring of 2022-2023, the unit was converted into a separate assault battalion. It then fought in the battles of Avdiivka and Chasiv Yar, from autum 2023 till summer 2024. In August 2024, it was transferred to Sumy oblast, and acted as a breakthrough assault unit during the Ukrainian incursion into the Kursk region. The unit was again reorganized into the 225th assault regiment in February 2025.
