Ihor Klymenko said the gunman behind a shooting in the Holosiivskyi district was killed during arrest after he shot and wounded several people on Apr. 18.
“KORD special forces of the National Police stormed the store where the suspect was located. He had taken people hostage and opened fire at police during the operation. Negotiators had attempted to establish contact with him beforehand,” the interior minister said.
According to him, the number of victims and injured is still being determined.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
