President Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed on his official Telegram channel that Stanislav Luchanov, the former commander of the 155th Brigade, has been apprehended. According to RBC-Ukraine, the arrest took place in Kyiv as part of a high-profile investigation into the brutal murder of two residents in the village of Kalynivka, Kyiv region.
The President stated that Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko reported the arrest of an additional member of the criminal group involved. So far, 10 individuals have been detained, including former leadership and active-duty servicemen. Zelenskiy emphasized that the scale of this case extends beyond a single community and requires a thorough, nationwide investigation. “All those responsible will face fair legal consequences,” the President vowed, adding that the state is committed to ensuring full transparency for the victims’ families.
This is not the first instance where the 155th Brigade has faced legal scrutiny, following the earlier arrest of former commander Denys Ryumshyn. The ongoing investigation into these crimes highlights the serious challenges in maintaining discipline and legal compliance, and the government has pledged that every action taken by the group will be subject to intense review.
The situation remains a focal point for the authorities, as they coordinate with local community representatives to ensure that justice is served for the Moseychuk family. The government has promised that all commitments made to the victims’ community will be fulfilled. As the country remains under pressure from external threats, maintaining internal order and public trust remains a critical priority for Ukrainian law enforcement agencies during this period of martial law.
