Angkatan Tentera Ukraine

**Angkatan Tentera Ukraine** ( (ЗСУ) , (**ZSU**)) merupakan angkatan bersenjata di Ukraine. Ia merupakan pasukan pertahanan utama untuk menentang sebarang usaha serangan ke atas negara berdaulat Ukraine. Kesemua pasukan bersenjata dan keselamatan termasuk Angkatan Tentera berada di bawah arahan Presiden Ukraine, dan tertakluk kepada pentadbiran oleh sebuah suruhanjaya tetap parlimen, Verkhovna Rada.

Angkatan Tentera Ukraine terdiri daripada Tentera Darat Ukraine, Tentera Laut Ukraine, Tentera Udara Ukraine, dan Pasukan Atur Udara Ukraine. Pasukan laut Ukraine mengekalkan pasukan kecil Infantri Laut Ukraine selain Penerbangan Laut Ukraine. Pengawal Laut Ukraine pula merupakan cabang pengawal pantai di Ukraine. Bagaimanapun, ianya merupakan sebahagian daripada Khidmat Pengawal Sempadan Negara Ukraine dan bukannya di berada bawah pasukan Tentera Laut Ukraine. Akibat daripada campur tangan ketenteraan Rusia di Ukraine bermula pada tahun 2014, gabenor yang dilantik oleh presiden di oblast Ukraine mesti menubuhkan unit-unit pertahanan wilayah Ukraine di bawah program yang dikenali sebagai "Pertahanan Simpanan".

Pengawal Kebangsaan Ukraine bertugas sebagai sebuah pasukan simpanan kepada Angkatan Tentera Ukraine.
