New Unit
Russia is in the process of creating the 18th Combined Arms Army as a consolidation effort for their forces in Southern Ukraine during the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive. I have enough sources that I could probably make a whole new article on just that unit, however, from what I've read, Russia is treating the new unit as a recreation of this unit. So should I just tack this stuff in a new section here? or go ahead and make a whole new article?
