Ukrainization of Russian Army units

The Ukrainization of the military units of the Imperial Russian Army was the process of forming Ukrainian military formations within the Imperial Russian Army with the aim of further creating Ukrainian national armed forces on their basis during the time of the Ukrainian Central Rada. The process lasted from March to the end of 1917 and was actually continued during the war against Bolshevik and White Russia. It became one of the key factors in the declaration of independence of the Ukrainian People's Republic.
