Murder of Andriy Parubiy
On August 30, 2025, in Lviv, former Verkhovna Rada chairman Andriy Parubiy was shot dead. Law enforcement officers reported that the politician and public figure was shot eight times.
The police considered three main versions of the motives for this crime:
• premeditated murder in connection with the political activity of the people's deputy;
• Russian trace;
• personal hostile relations between the suspect and the victim.
The head of the National Police of Ukraine, Ivan Vyhivskyi, stated that the priority was to work out information regarding a possible Russian trace.
On September 1, the detained Lviv resident was notified of suspicion in Parubiy's murder.
On September 2, in the case of the murder of former Verkhovna Rada chairman Andriy Parubiy, the actions of the suspect were reclassified. He is now charged with illegal handling of weapons and encroachment on the life of a People's Deputy of Ukraine.
The National Police did not find accomplices in Ukraine for the suspect in the murder of Andriy Parubiy. The suspect planned to hide in Khmelnytskyi region and was waiting for information to cross the border.
Recall
The Verkhovna Rada appealed to the parliaments of the EU with a call to condemn the murder of People's Deputy Andriy Parubiy, considering it an act of political terror by the Russian Federation. Deputies demand an investigation and increased pressure on Russia.
