Detention: The exact date is not available in open sources.

Sentence: As of July 17, 2026, information about the sentence is not available in open sources. Andriy Bryukhanov is one of the Ukrainian citizens prosecuted by the Russian Federation under Article 275 of the Russian Federation Criminal Code ('treason'). Human rights defenders view such cases as tools for politically motivated persecution of Ukrainian citizens in the temporarily occupied territories and in the Russian Federation.

Andriy Bryukhanov is a Ukrainian citizen who has become a victim of politically motivated criminal prosecution by the Russian Federation. There is virtually no information about his life before detention in open human rights sources. His date of birth, place of residence, profession, marital status, and other biographical details have not been disclosed.

Andriy Bryukhanov's name is mentioned in a study by CrimeaSOS dedicated to the practice of prosecuting Ukrainian citizens under Article 275 of the Russian Federation Criminal Code ('treason').

According to CrimeaSOS, cases of so-called 'treason' are mostly conducted in closed sessions. Information about detention, case circumstances, places of detention, and court proceedings is often concealed. Relatives often do not know the whereabouts of detainees for extended periods, and lawyers have limited access to case materials.

As a result, there are no confirmed details in open sources about the date of Andriy Bryukhanov's detention, charges brought against him, or the progress of the investigation or trial. Human rights organizations attribute this to the closed nature of the Russian criminal prosecution system and restricted access to information in cases involving Ukrainian citizens.

Despite the lack of information, Andriy Bryukhanov's name is included in the list of Ukrainian citizens documented by human rights defenders as individuals persecuted by the Russian Federation for political reasons. Ukrainian and international human rights organizations continue to gather information about such cases, document human rights violations, and inform the international community about the unlawful persecution of Ukrainian citizens.

As of July 27, 2026, no new officially confirmed information regarding Andriy Bryukhanov's procedural status has been published in open sources. Human rights defenders emphasize the need for continued monitoring of his case and ensuring international oversight of the rights of unlawfully detained Ukrainian citizens.
