The Commendation Badge of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine — Medal "For Supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine" was part of the system of awards of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine that existed until 2012. The award was reinstated in 2015.

History of the Award

The Medal "For Supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine" was established by the order of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine dated May 20, 2003, No. 142.^[1]^[2].

Changes to the order No. 737 were made by the Minister of Defense's order dated November 1, 2010, No. 555^[3].
On May 30, 2012, President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych issued a decree approving new provisions for departmental commendations, requiring ministries and commanders of military formations to review and amend existing awards^[4]. During 2012-2013, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine developed a new system of commendations^[5], which did not include the Medal "For Supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine".
From December 9, 2015, according to the order of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine No. 705 "On amendments to the order of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine No. 165 dated March 11, 2013", the medal "For Supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine" was reintroduced^[6].
