Ukrainian media "Kyiv Independent" reported that the shooter who killed Andrei Parubiy is a 52-year-old woman from Lviv, named Mykhailo Tselynikov.
On September 2, the accused Mykhailo Tselynikov told the court that he killed Andrei Parubiy for personal reasons, and no one was behind him.
According to Mykhailo Tselynikov's testimony in court, his son was forcibly conscripted into the Ukrainian army and died, and his body could not be found. He planned to kill a Ukrainian official and then be arrested as a "Russian agent", and then try to be sent to Russia through a prisoner exchange, so that he could find his son's body.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that the shooter Mykhailo Tselynikov was arrested in Khmelnytskyi. Andrei Parubiy had applied for state protection from the Ukrainian Security Service six months ago, but it was rejected by the head of the Ukrainian Security Service, Vasyl Malyuk. However, it doesn't matter now, he will never need it again.
Mykhailo Tselynikov finally added in court that the claim by Ukrainian police that he was "coerced by Russian intelligence" is entirely fictitious, and the assassination of Parubiy was entirely his own act.
According to Facebook information, a man matching the description has been confirmed dead. The man may be the son of Mykhailo Tselynikov, the suspect in the assassination of the Ukrainian politician Parubiy.
Mykhailo Tselynikov's son has been missing since May 2023. His mother, Yelena Chernenkova, a writer and editor from Lviv, posted a missing person notice on social media.
The Lviv IT company TurnKey Lender where he worked has confirmed the death of Mykhailo Tselynikov's son. According to the disclosure, his code name was "Limborg" (the old German name for Lviv), and he went missing near Bakhmut.
