It is also Russian name Кузьма or Козьма (Kuzma or Kozma), rare name nowadays. All these names came from greek word Kosmos.

Odessa region borders Moldova. As for ethnic origins, the topic was never broached. Credit to Ukrainians they rarely do nowadays.

73rd center scuba diving training.
Why do these guys look like 2 bit henchmen from the 1970s James Bond movie!? This is because of their "old school" scuba gear. The IDA-71 (i.e individual breathing apparatus) dates back to the early 1970s.

^^ I was going to say that the gear is downright prehistoric! Beat me to it mate
I'm not a specialist, maybe there is something special with these devices, but I've seen other special forces units with much more modern looking scuba gear. Also, Ukraine just contracted some American company to provide new parachutes for its airborne forces. So, hopefully, special forces unit will get some as well.

To be fair. We don't know the context. I doubt that they would use outdated equipment. I've seen UA sof mostly with modern scuba gear.
Older gear is probably just used for educational and familiarization purposes. I know that sof also learn a lot about historical equipment.

When it comes to 73rd, I have not seen anything but antiques throughout. It's not just the scuba gear.

Well than it's just a matter of time till they get an upgrade as well.
Let's be real, as horrible as this sounds, if this war didn't happen than the UA would probably still be largely neglected and rotting away in it's Soviet state 10 times more dramaticaly.

Absolutely. Although, I do still consider Ukrainian Military to be a militia with heavy weapons rather than a Western, heck or even Soviet military in conventional sense.
