Describing AMK as “pro-Ukrainian” is wild. They’re not Ukraine-aligned; they’re just pro-Russian with better PR.

Commander of Ukraine’s 155th Mechanized Brigade is now AWOL amid a kidnapping and murder.

Police are investigating the alleged kidnapping of two men from Kyiv Oblast on June 27–28.

According to Hromadske, 9 soldiers from the brigade were detained, including a battalion commander.

According to sources cited by ZN.UA and Ukrainska Pravda, the two men were not only kidnapped but later killed.

The alleged motive is insane:

the commander’s wife was reportedly insulted by the two men, after which Luchanov allegedly ordered his subordinates to find and kidnap them.

Before taking command of the 155th Brigade, Luchanov was chief of staff of the 425th “Skelya” Assault Regiment.
