The Ukrainian authorities say finding \u201cevidence\u201d of Moscow\u2019s involvement in the shooting of Andrey Parubiy is a priority<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukrainian investigators are trying to find evidence linking Russia to Saturday’s killing of Andrey Parubiy, a far-right lawmaker and key figure in the 2014 Maidan coup, a senior security official said on Monday.<\/p>\n

Parubiy was shot<\/a> eight times on Saturday on a street in the Western Ukrainian city of Lviv. The gunman escaped, though Vladimir Zelensky announced<\/a> on Monday that a suspect had been detained.<\/p>\n

Vadim Onishchenko, head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in the region, said at a joint press briefing on the same day that investigators “do not exclude”<\/em> any theory and were actively trying to find Russian involvement.<\/p>\n

“So far, there is no such evidence in the case, but we are looking into it,”<\/em> Onishchenko acknowledged.<\/p>\n

Lviv Region police chief Aleksandr Shlyakhovsky claimed Russia “seeks to destabilize society through various sinister and cynical actions,”<\/em> suggesting Parubiy’s killing fits that description. His deputy, Dmitry Nebitov, added that searching for potential Russian ties was a “priority.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Officials said Parubiy had not requested personal protection from police or the SBU. The detained suspect, a 52-year-old Lviv resident, was described as living in “certain circumstances”<\/em> that investigators believe may have contributed to the crime. Authorities declined to provide further details, citing the ongoing case.<\/p>\n

Parubiy, a former parliamentary speaker, co-founded the radical Social National Party, an organization known for its ultranationalist and neo-Nazi ideology, and commanded the far-right groups of armed and violent protesters during the Maidan events of 2014.<\/p>\n

He was believed to have sensitive knowledge about the violence that turned the 2014 demonstrations into an armed uprising that toppled the Ukrainian government. Parubiy was also accused of playing a prominent role in the fire at the Trade Unions House in Odessa in 2014 that led to the death of dozens of anti-Maidan demonstrators.<\/p>\n

Rodion Miroshnik, Russia’s ambassador-at-large, claimed the assassination appeared intended to “wipe the field clean”<\/em> ahead of a potential settlement to the Ukraine conflict, which could mark a return of political competition in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
