Former Speaker of Ukraine’s Parliament, Andriy Parubiy, has been shot dead in the western city of Lviv, officials confirmed. The attacker, disguised as a courier with a delivery bag, opened fire before fleeing on an e-bike. A large manhunt is under way, BBC reported.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy condemned the killing as a “terrible murder” and pledged all resources to capture the suspect.
Parubiy, 54, was a central figure in the 2014 Euromaidan protests, later serving as Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada and joining Ukraine’s territorial defence after Russia’s 2022 invasion. Leaders hailed him as a patriot and defender of Ukraine’s independence.
