"The article you have just posted is a lie for the reason explained above. There is no 37th brigade and no such colonel."

On 1 June 2009, the division became the 37th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, as part of the 2008 Russian military reform.[10] The brigade included more than 200 tracked vehicles and more than 100 wheeled vehicles in 2013.[11] Elements of the brigade fought in the War in Donbass and were located in the Northern operational area in February 2015.[12] The 37th's troops fought in the Battle of Debaltseve during this time, where their heavy equipment and weaponry was crucial to the defeat of Ukrainian forces in the battle.[13] In September 2016, a conscript from the brigade was run over by a Kamaz truck while sleeping during an exercise.[14]
