The Social-National Assembly (SNA) was an assemblage of the ultra-nationalist radical organizations and groups founded in 2008 that share the social-national ideology and agree upon building a social-national state in Ukraine. It is located on the far right of the Ukrainian politics and built around the "Patriot of Ukraine". In late November 2013, both the S.N.A. and the "Patriot of Ukraine" entered in an association with several other Ukrainian far-right groups which led to the formation of the Right Sector. As of 2014, the S.N.A. was also reported to be close to Svoboda, and Yuriy Zbitnyev, the leader of the nationalist political party "Nova Syla" (New Force). As of 2014, the S.N.A.'s activities were largely Kyiv-based.
The SNA participated at the War in Donbas through the Azov Battalion, created as a militia in March 2014 and granted official status in May of the same year. Later the SNA and Patriot of Ukraine ended operations as most of its members were engaged in participation on the Azov Battalion.
In 2016, former members of the Azov Battalion and the SNA founded a new party named National Corps.
