      Nacionalna garda Ukrajine (Національна гвардія України) je rezervni sastav Oružanih snaga Ukrajine podređen Ministarstvu unutarnjih poslova. Od osamostaljenja Ukrajine prošla je nekoliko reorganizacija, čak je bila i ukinuta, a posljedni je put ponovno uspostavljena 13. 05. 2014. radi novonastale situacije odcjepljenja i pobune u nekoliko regija Ukrajine. Prvi je put osnovana 04. 11. 1991. odmah po osamostaljenju, da bi bili raspušteni 2000. godine, radi uštede, po nalogu predsjednika Leonida Kučme. Od 1995. do 2000. su paralelno postojale Unutrašnja vojska i Nacionalna garda.

      The National Guard of Ukraine (Національна гвардія України, Natsionalna hvardiya Ukrayiny) — 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 regions. The National Guard was originally created on November 4, 1991 right after Ukraine gained its independance 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.

Zato 11. 06. 2015., Predstavnički dom Senata SAD-a donosi odluku o blokiranju bilo kakve pomoći Azov-u od strane američkih snaga, navodeći kao razlog neonacističku pozadinu jedinice.

The regiment's commander is Andriy Biletsky, leader of the far-right organizations known as the Social-National Assembly and Patriot of Ukraine.

On 11 June 2015, the United States House of representatives passed amendments blocking any training of Azov by American forces, citing its neo-Nazi background as the reason.
