[200] Ukrainian National Guard [Special Edition] Award

Introducing project “Military Insignia 3D”, showcasing top quality military heraldry designs. Here you will find fully customizable products featuring insignia of the National Guard of Ukraine. The National Guard of Ukraine —Ukrainian: Національна гвардія України, "Natsionalna gvardiya Ukrayini" (NGU)— is the reserve component of the Armed Forces of Ukraine under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that was revived in 2014 based on the Internal Troops of Ukraine. The Guard would then be reestablished on March 13, 2014 amidst rising tensions in Ukraine and its region caused by the military intervention in Crimea by Russia. The National Guard was originally created on November 4, 1991 right after Ukraine gained its independence under a direct supervision of the Supreme Council of Ukraine. However it was controversially disbanded nine years later on January 11, 2000 as part of a 'cost-saving' exercise by the then President Leonid Kuchma. In 1995 - 2000 there existed both the National Guard of Ukraine and the Internal Troops of Ukraine.
