The Special Operations Forces (SSO) are one of the five branches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with headquarters in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The branch was formed based on military units of the Ukrainian Chief Directorate of Intelligence (HUR), which were originally formed of the Soviet GRU Spetsnaz based in Ukraine (then Ukrainian SSR). In 2014, Special Forces Command numbered over 4,000 spetsnaz operatives, all of whom are professional soldiers.
The catchphrase of Svyatoslav the Brave, "I Come at You!" (Ukrainian: Іду на ви!), was officially adopted as the organization's motto.
