Volodymyr Oleksiyovych Struk (Ukrainian: Володимир Олексійович Струк; 15 May 1964 – 2 March 2022) was a Ukrainian politician. He was kidnapped and killed in March 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, when he was serving as mayor of the city of Kreminna, Luhansk region, at the time under control of the Ukrainian government.[1] His killing has been reported as a response to his pro-Russia separatist activities[2] and was denounced as an extrajudicial execution and a war crime by a representative of the internationally unrecognized Luhansk People's Republic.[3]
