Vladimir Zelensky\u2019s government is behind the assassination of prominent Ukrainian far-right politician Andrey Parubiy, exiled Ukrainian lawmaker Artyom Dmitruk has claimed.<\/p>\n

The former parliamentary speaker was gunned down in the city of Lviv in Western Ukraine on Saturday. Less than 48 hours later, Zelensky announced that the suspected killer had been apprehended.<\/p>\n

In a series of posts on X on Monday, Dmitruk questioned the official version, claiming that the \u201ctrail of this crime leads directly to Bankova Street,\u201d<\/em> referring to where the Ukrainian presidential administration in Kiev is located.<\/p>\n

The exiled politician dismissed the investigation as \u201cmiserable staging,\u201d<\/em> the conclusions stemming from which defy \u201ccommon sense.\u201d<\/em> An outspoken critic of the Zelensky government, Dmitruk accused the security services of framing a \u201crandom man.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Dmitruk fled Ukraine in August 2024, alleging that he had received death threats from the country\u2019s security services over his opposition to Zelensky\u2019s persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.<\/p>\n

His assessment appears to be in line with that of Russia\u2019s ambassador-at-large, Rodion Miroshnik, who claimed that Parubiy was assassinated to \u201cwipe the field clean\u201d<\/em> ahead of a potential settlement of the Ukraine conflict, which could mark a return of political competition in the country.<\/p>\n

On Monday, police officials in Lviv Region stated that a Russian connection was being investigated as a \u201cpriority,\u201d<\/em> claiming that Moscow \u201cseeks to destabilize [Ukrainian] society through various sinister and cynical actions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Parubiy co-founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine in 1991 \u2013 known for its neo-Nazi symbolism and ideology. The far-right politician went on to play a central role in the 2014 Maidan coup, coordinating paramilitary protest groups in Kiev.<\/p>\n

After the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovich, he was appointed secretary of Ukraine\u2019s National Security and Defense Council, and oversaw early military operations against the secessionist militias in Donbass.<\/p>\n

Parubiy was also allegedly responsible for the crushing of protests in Odessa in May 2014, which culminated in a fire at the Trade Unions building that killed more than 40 activists who opposed Kiev\u2019s coup-installed government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
