Addition
On July 19, 2024, an unknown person shot Iryna Farion, a linguist and professor at Lviv Polytechnic. She died in the hospital.
On July 25 of the same year, 18-year-old Vyacheslav Zinchenko was detained in Dnipro on suspicion of involvement in the murder of the linguist. The next day, law enforcement officers informed him of the suspicion of murdering Iryna Farion.
Subsequently, law enforcement officers reclassified the Farion murder case as the murder of a person in connection with her performance of public duty due to national intolerance, and illegal handling of weapons. Now Vyacheslav Zinchenko faces life imprisonment.
