Andriy Parubiy, a senior Ukrainian politician who served as the parliament’s speaker, has been shot dead in Ukraine’s western city of Lviv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday.
“Ukraine’s minister of internal affairs Ihor Klymenko and prosecutor general Ruslan Kravchenko have just reported the first known circumstances of the horrendous murder in Lviv. Andriy Parubiy was killed,” Zelenskyy said on X.
The country’s national police earlier in the day reported a shooting in Lviv, the nearest major Ukrainian city to the Polish border, without giving further details.
