”The necessary investigative measures are underway”, the president writes on social media, and thanks at the same time for the ”fast and coordinated work” that is being done.
Zelenskyj also states that the suspect has been interrogated.
Parubij was shot dead on the open street in Lviv in western Ukraine on Saturday.
He was the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, radan, between 2016 and 2019. Before that, he served as the head of Ukraine's national security council.
Parubij also played a prominent role in the so-called Euromaidan protests in Ukraine in 2014, writes The Kyiv Independent. The protest movement, which advocated for a rapprochement with the EU, brought down the pro-Russian then president Viktor Janukovytj.
He became 54 years old.
