More and more abductions in annexed Crimea

23.03.2014   
Reports that Yuliy Mamchur had been released have been refuted, and two other military commanders have joined the list of at least 11 military and civic activists who’ve been abducted since Russia’s military invasion

Belbek Airforce was seized on March 22, and its commander Yuliy Mamchur taken into custody

On Sunday Dmitry Tymchuk, head of the Centre for Military and Political Research, reported that an army captain in Sevastopol, Demyanenko, had been abducted.   This follows two other abductions of military commanders.  Tymchuk earlier reported that on Sunday morning naval commander Ihor Voronchenko was abducted.  Voronchenko had effectively taken all Ukrainian military in the Crimea true to their oath to Ukraine under his control.  He is believed to be in custody in Sevastopol.  More details at: Russian troops storm Belbek airbase, arrest Commander Yuliy Mamchur
