Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced early Monday that a suspect has been detained in connection with the shocking murder of former parliamentary speaker Andriy Parubiy. The arrest comes just days after Parubiy was fatally shot in Lviv, a city in western Ukraine, sparking nationwide outrage.
🔍 "The suspect has given an initial testimony," Zelenskyy revealed on Telegram, adding that "urgent investigative actions" are underway to uncover the full story behind the killing. He called the incident a "horrific murder" and emphasized its gravity in a country already embroiled in conflict.
Parubiy, 54, was a key figure in Ukraine’s 2013-2014 pro-EU protests and served as parliamentary speaker from 2016 to 2019. His death has raised questions about security and political tensions amid the ongoing war with Russia.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko described the crime as "carefully planned," with the attacker allegedly studying Parubiy’s routines and mapping escape routes. While many details remain under wraps, officials confirmed the suspect was arrested overnight in the Khmelnytskyi region.
Zelenskyy praised law enforcement’s swift response, vowing: "All circumstances must be uncovered." As Ukraine mourns, the world watches to see how this high-profile case unfolds. 💡
