Context
Journalist Yuriy Butusov reported that the State Bureau of Investigation opened a criminal case in December regarding the circumstances of the formation of the 155th mechanized brigade “Anna Kyivska” that entered the battle near Pokrovsk.
He called the formation of the brigade and its support “a complete organizational chaos” and added that the brigade did not have a single drone in service.
According to the journalist, one of the leaders responsible for the formation of the brigade died of a heart attack, and the brigade commander was dismissed immediately after the brigade entered the battle. Before brigade fired its first shot, 1700 soldiers had left without permission.
“The SBI is indeed examining the facts presented in the media within the framework of criminal proceedings initiated under Article 426-1 (Abuse of power or authority by a military officer) and Article 408 (Desertion) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The investigation is ongoing. It is too early to talk about any preliminary results,” the SBI told UNN.
