SBU, the Ukrainian intelligence agency, said it has captured the assassin who tried to kill former Supreme Rada Chairman and former Secretary of the National Security Council Andrei Parubiy, and released a photo. SBU stated that the assassin attempted to leave Lviv and go to Khmelnytskyi for cover, but was caught before he could escape. Vadym Onyshenko, head of the SBU department in the Lviv region, stated that there is no evidence indicating Russian involvement in Parubiy's assassination.
Ukrainian Supreme Rada member Ariev stated that Parubiy had sensed someone would assassinate him and had applied to the Ukrainian authorities for protection six months ago, but his request was denied. Deputy Demitruk stated that Parubiy had applied again for protection from the Ukrainian Security Service two months ago, but this was also rejected. The Ukrainian Security Service also confirmed that Parubiy had requested protection, but did not explain the reason for the rejection.
This Parubiy, with a neo-Nazi background, once cooperated with the West to plan the square riots, orchestrated the Odessa Trade Union massacre, and participated in the slaughter in Donbas, and was wanted by Russia on charges of genocide.
