Incident Details

On the night of June 27, the perpetrators unlawfully entered the property of the Moseichuk brothers. During the incident, a serviceman named Zaiats fired two shots into the leg of Roman Mosiichuk. The brothers were tied up, blindfolded, placed into vehicles, and taken to a military unit near Poltava. They were held illegally until July 1.

Stanislav Luchanov, who involved the battalion commander of military unit A5001, Dovhalenko, in the murder of the brothers, took command of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Anna of Kyiv in February 2026. Previously, he served as the chief of staff of the 425th Separate Assault Regiment 'Skelya.' On July 13, the former brigade commander was detained in Kyiv. The investigation is ongoing.

This case has sparked significant public outcry, as it involves military personnel who, according to case materials, abused their authority and violated the law. It is important that law enforcement agencies are conducting a thorough investigation to uncover all circumstances of the incident and bring those responsible to justice. This incident raises critical questions about ethics and discipline within military units, especially in the context of the ongoing conflict.
