In Lviv, the murder of well-known Ukrainian politician and former Chairman of Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada, Andriy Parubiy, has taken place. The incident is viewed as part of a broader terrorist war against Ukraine, including both frontline and internal attacks.
Journalist Vitaliy Portnikov emphasized that such crimes aim not only to eliminate opponents physically, but also to spread fear and highlight the vulnerability of the Ukrainian state. These attacks cause division in society and impact the country's stability.
Andriy Parubiy was a notable figure in Ukrainian politics in recent decades, known for his civic activism and active participation in both Maidans. His activities often drew criticism from pro-Russian forces and Russian media.
Parubiy's killing is the second political assassination in Lviv in recent months, following the death of Iryna Farion, indicating attempts to destabilize the situation, particularly among pro-Ukraine politicians.
Portnikov expressed condolences to Parubiy's family and called for the recognition that each such loss is a shared tragedy for all Ukrainians.
