Бывшего командира 155-й отдельной механизированной бригады ВСУ арестовали. Его подозревают в том, что он способствовал дезертирству своих подчиненных.

This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine on Telegram on Monday, January 20.

Former Commander of the 155th Brigade Arrested

The Security Service and the State Bureau of Investigation apprehended the former commander of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This action was supported by the Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

According to the SBU, the brigade commander did not report a significant number of instances of personnel abandoning their posts. Troops left the brigade both during training in France and while executing combat missions at the front.

"Currently, law enforcement is investigating information regarding potential corruption schemes within the brigade during the selection of servicemen for training abroad. They are also looking into allegations of 'schemes' whereby military personnel could evade their service duties in exchange for bribes," the SBU reports.

The former commander of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade is now facing charges, which could result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years.

Recall that the Commander of the Ground Forces, Mykhailo Drapatiy, discussed what measures would be taken to address the issues that have arisen in the 155th brigade.

Media outlets have stated that Volodymyr Zelensky has been briefed on the situation in the 155th mechanized brigade. The President has taken personal control of the investigation.
