Ukrainian MP Andriy Parubiy, a former speaker of parliament, was shot dead earlier today in the center of Lviv, Ukraine, by an unknown man posing as a delivery man. The incident occurred on one of the city's sidewalks, where Parubiy was walking when he approached the killer, who executed him with eight bullets. After the crime, the perpetrator fled the scene.
A video released by the Strana network shows the moment the killer waits for Parubiy to approach and, when he is close, shoots him dead. Ukrainian police confirmed that the incident took place in Lviv and that the victim was a "public figure and well-known politician."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reacted immediately, calling the act a "horrible murder" and promising a thorough investigation into the circumstances of Parubiy's death. He also said authorities were conducting searches to find and arrest the killer.
This shocking crime has left a huge mark on Ukrainian politics, while investigations continue to uncover the motives and circumstances of this violent act.
