Special unit «KRAKEN» is a separate reconnaissance and subversive unit of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The unit is named after the Kraken - a mythical giant monster that brings death to enemies. As a unit, Kraken began to form a few weeks before February 24, 2022 and was finally formed on February 24, 2022 by veterans of the AZOV regiment, GUR MOU officers, ultras and volunteers. Recruits to this unit undergo a special selection and getting into Kraken is not that easy, because the tasks performed by the unit's fighters are also not easy.
