The 18th Army Corps (Ukrainian: 18-й армійський корпус) is a Corps of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.

History

The 18th Army Corps was formed as part of Ukraine's ongoing defense reforms. They aimed to improve command structures and operational readiness amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022). On April 12, 2025, the commander of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade, Colonel Roman Darmohrai, was appointed as the commander of the Corps.
