Ukrainian media report, as cited by Israel Hayom, that a Russian soldier captured and held by Ukraine is Anton Milayev, the great-grandson of former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. There is no official confirmation from either side.
This update, reported by Israel Hayom citing Ukrainian media, identifies a Russian soldier in Ukrainian captivity as Anton Milayev, the great-grandson of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. The report offers no specific details on when or where Milayev was captured, and no official confirmation has been issued by either the Russian or Ukrainian governments. The story remains based on a single media source, with corroboration pending. As The Zioneer previously reported in a background item, Ukrainian outlets had earlier mentioned the capture of what they described as a relative of Brezhnev, though with limited detail. This latest report adds the name and lineage but still lacks official verification.
