The prominent Ukrainian politician Andre Barubi was fire in Lviv

The Ukrainian authorities said that former parliamentary spokeswoman Andre Barobi had died in Levv.

Police received reports of shooting in the Frankifsk area in Levv, western Ukraine, around midday local time on Saturday. It is not clear whether the perpetrator was arrested.

Parubiy, 54, rose to the lead as part of the MAIDAN movement in Ukraine, which called for closer relations with the European Union (EU) and dropped former Russian President Victor Yanukovic in 2014.

Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski described it as a “terrible murder” and sent his condolences.

It is still not clear who was behind the attack. Unconfirmed reports indicate that Parubiy was shot several times by a gunman on an electronic bike wearing an hour.

Investigate the National Police in Ukraine, the regional LVIV police, and the security service in killing.

In a statement, Zelinski wrote about a telegram: “The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine IHOR Klymento and Prosecutor Ruslan Karravchanko have just been informed in the first known circumstances of the terrible killing in Lviv. Andrei Barobi was killed.

“All the powers and means needed to investigate and find the killer.”
