I read as many as 4 brigades involved, though these are 'elements' from these brigades and not full-strength brigades.

A day later, hundreds of Ukrainian troops from (at least) the 22nd and 88th Mechanized Brigades supported by artillery, drones and air defenses have marched nearly 10 miles into southern Russia, routing local Russian forces and capturing Sudzha along with several other villages.

According to unreliable reports, Ukraine has concentrated elements from two to four brigades in the area.

Note: A brigade can be anywhere from 1000 to 8000 troops, with most of the reading I can find indicating a full-strength Ukrainian brigade is around 4000.
