According to the investigation, the commander “did not react to the offenses in his unit, including the voluntary abandonment of the military unit by his soldiers.”
The SBI also says that “the commander deliberately did not perform other actions assigned to him by his official duties. In particular, throughout 2024, he did not send a single report to the pretrial investigation authorities regarding subordinate servicemen who committed criminal offenses.”
The situation in the 155th mechanized brigade became public on December 31, when journalist Yuriy Butusov wrote about it. According to him, even before the first battle, more than a thousand mobilized men voluntarily left the unit, the brigade commander was dismissed, and one of the leaders responsible for the formation of the brigade died of a heart attack.
Meanwhile, on January 6, the France-Presse agency, citing an official representative of the French army, reported that several dozen of over two thousand Ukrainian soldiers from the 155th “Anna of Kyiv” brigade deserted during training.
According to the results of the meeting with the commanders of the unmanned systems units, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said that he “paid special attention to the capacity building of the unmanned systems unit of the 155th mechanized brigade, as well as to problematic issues that need to be solved.” Syrskyi did not specify which problematic issues are being discussed.
