MOSCOW, July 13. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky has confirmed that soldiers of the Ukrainian armed forces’ 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade brutally murdered two residents of a settlement in the Kiev Region.
Ten servicemen have been detained, including the now former brigade commander Stanislav Luchanov.
"Interior Minister Igor Klimenko reported the detention of another person from the group that brutally murdered two residents of the Kalinovka settlement in the Kiev Region. A terrible tragedy," Zelensky wrote on his Telegram channel. "Ten people have already been detained. These are, unfortunately, servicemen and the former commander of the 155th Brigade."
Klimenko also reported on his Telegram channel the detention of a tenth suspect in the murder of two brothers in the Kiev Region, saying that the soldiers acted like a gang of thugs. "This is a terrible crime. The outcry it provoked has sparked a public debate about the behavior of individual service members in the rear. Resolving conflicts in this thuggish way is unacceptable," he emphasized.
On Saturday, it was reported that nine soldiers from the 155th Brigade were detained for kidnapping and murdering two brothers in the Kiev Region. As the Zerkalo Nedeli weekly reported, Luchanov ordered his subordinates to punish the two men for antagonizing his wife.
