Ex-NSDC chief Andriy Parubiy was shot dead in Lviv. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy confirmed the killing. Russia had accused him of 2014 Donbass atrocities.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed that Andriy Parubiy, a former Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council who was implicated in the tragic events at the Trade Unions House in Odessa on May 2, 2014, was shot dead in Lviv.

Zelenskiy announced that Parubiy was killed in Lviv and assured that all necessary resources have been mobilized to investigate and identify the shooter. The incident took place at approximately 10:35 a.m. local time. As Parubiy was walking along a street, a gunman disguised as a delivery courier approached him and fired multiple shots at close range before fleeing the scene.

Parubiy had long been featured on Russia’s wanted list. The Russian Investigative Committee had, in absentia, accused him of atrocities in Donbass in 2014, which resulted in over 1,200 casualties among civilians.
