The 155th Brigade Has a New Commander Following a Scandal
Colonel Andriy Kroka has been appointed the new commander of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade. He succeeded Stanislav Luchanov, who had previously been presented with the unit’s battle flag.
“Thank you for your trust. It is a great honor for me to accept the Battle Flag of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Anna of Kyiv. This flag symbolizes your resilience, courage, and indomitability. We will carry it forward with honor into our future. Despite all the trials and fierce battles in the Pokrovsk direction, the brigade continues to fight, defend our country, and bring Victory closer. “I believe that together we will restore the good name of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade,” Andriy Krok said.
Budanov urged the troops not to lose their composure amid the events surrounding the 155th Brigade.
As a reminder, on the morning of July 14, the court began hearing the case regarding the selection of a pretrial measure for Stanislav Luchanov, the former commander of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade. He is suspected of involvement in the abduction and murder of two brothers in the Kyiv region.
On July 14, the Rokytne District Court of the Kyiv region imposed a pretrial measure on Stanislav Luchanov, the former commander of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade “Anna Kyivska.” The lieutenant colonel was remanded in custody until September 10.
