On August 30, a tragic event unfolded in Lviv — the brutal and seemingly targeted murder of a prominent politician and former Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, Andriy Parubiy.
The shooting incident on Efremov Street shocked local residents and triggered a comprehensive law enforcement investigation.
According to official reports, around 11:37 a.m., a call was received by emergency services reporting gunfire at the specified location.
Police units promptly arrived, discovering a violent attack in progress: an unknown assailant opened fire with a firearm, firing approximately eight rounds.
The exact type of weapon used has not been identified yet.Lviv law enforcement officials emphasized that the attack was meticulously planned and carefully prepared.
The suspect, they believe, studied the target and rehearsed the attack beforehand.
Multiple investigation avenues are being explored, including the possibility of Russian involvement.
Authorities also mentioned that the suspect might have resembled a courier from Glovo — dressed similarly and wearing a helmet.
However, investigators are working tirelessly to identify the individual responsible for this heinous act.Furthermore, the Lviv regional prosecutor’s office announced that an investigation has been launched into the illegal dissemination of video footage related to the incident.
Mикола Мерет, head of the prosecutor’s office, stated that materials are being prepared to record evidence of the illegal leak of information through Telegram channels, which constitutes a criminal offense.
An independent investigation is also underway to analyze the actions of those responsible for the unauthorized sharing.Regarding possible links between the murder of Parubiy and the earlier killing of linguist Iryna Farion, authorities ruled out any connection due to lack of evidence or any links between the two cases.
Each crime is being thoroughly investigated separately, taking into account all pertinent details.Recall that on August 30, a shooting attack occurred in Lviv targeting one of Ukraine’s most influential politicians — former parliament speaker and current MP Andriy Parubiy.
According to official reports, an unidentified man fired multiple shots, one of which was fatal.
The attacker managed to escape, and law enforcement launched a special operation dubbed “Siren.” President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the act of violence and highlighted that the killing of Parubiy was a premeditated and carefully orchestrated crime, underscoring ongoing risks to security even for high-ranking politicians.
