Andriy Brynevskiy disappeared on March 11. He lived in Mariupol, and at that time he had been hiding from the cruel shelling of the Russian army for the third week in a row in the basement. People were sent to the filtration camp to the village of Bezymenne of Novoazovsk region. Andriy was last seen there.

50-year-old Andriy Brynevskiy devoted a half of his life to the Ukrainian army. He was serving in the special forces troops and just two years ago he retired as a lieutenant colonel. However he isn’t listed in the Ukrainian list of the prisoners of war, cause at the time of his kidnapping he was a civilian already. No official authority, either of Russia or the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, doesn’t acknowledge the fact that Andriy is being kept in captivity. They also don’t answer the question where he is now. There is no information on Brynevskiy at the Red Cross either. Only in May one of the Russian civil servants informed his wife that Andriy was alive.
