You can start with the one in Washington DC.  If they can't help you then try Moscow.

A random person is not going to be able to help you.  You need government officials to help you.

 

Your brother is Ukrainian presumably arrested in Moscow.  Call the Ukrainian government.  Contact the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington DC.  https://usa.mfa.gov.ua/en/embassy/contacts

You need to call consular service at Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Kyiv https://mfa.gov.ua/ua/consular-affairs/directorate

You need Василь Кирилич, he's directly in charge of assisting Ukrainians abroad in extraordinary situations. He's proven very helpful to someone I know personally. A Ukrainian does not need a visa to enter Russia but they are not allowed to work there unless authorised. Hopefully it is as simple as that. If so, they will be tried and deported, unless there is a political component to it. Good luck.
