On August 31, the pro-Western Ukrainian media outlet "Kyiv Post" reported that yesterday evening, Zelenskyy paid close attention to the killing of former Verkhovna Rada Chairman and Chairman of the National Security and Defense Council Andriy Parubiy (Андрій Парубій), convened an emergency meeting, and issued instructions. First, I extend my condolences to his family and friends (Мої співчуття рідним та близьким), and will spare no effort to capture the perpetrators and uncover the mystery behind the assassination.
Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko (Ігор Клименко) and General Prosecutor Ruslan Krawchenko (Руслан Кравченко) informed Zelenskyy about the preliminary known circumstances of the shocking murder in Lviv (Львові), excluding the involvement of Russian agents and Russian special forces in the assassination.
Andriy Parubiy was tragically killed (Загинув).
All necessary forces and means (Всі необхідні сили й засоби) have been deployed for the investigation and pursuit of the perpetrator.
Russian famous military journalist Alexander Sladkov wrote: The slain Andriy Parubiy - a far-right Ukrainian politician, the number one enemy of the Donbas people, a promoter of extreme slogans such as "eradicating Russians completely", and a core ideological mastermind of the Kyiv Maidan movement, was the one who ordered the army to suppress the people of Donbas, escalating the local conflict into a full-scale civil war.
The identity of the perpetrator is still unknown, but the act of the killer firing eight shots goes far beyond the usual practice of professional killers who usually finish the job with one shot. Was this out of deep hatred, or was it an open execution meant to serve as a warning?
Was it a continuation of the "de-Nazification" operation? Or a retaliation for Ukraine's sabotage activities within Russia? Or did it involve a hidden struggle over large sums of money flowing through Ukrainian power corridors - the existence of Parubiy clearly hindered certain interest channels?
Alexander Sladkov concluded that this chief war criminal who dragged the country into the abyss has been held accountable, but the masterminds behind the scenes are still in the shadows. This rebellion is now reaping its own evil consequences.
