Former Ukrainian Speaker Andriy Parubiy Shot Dead in Lviv as Manhunt Intensifies

Investigators opened a 'Siren' operation to find a suspect who fled on an e‑bike.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s Prosecutor General said an unidentified assailant fired several shots, killing Parubiy on the spot around noon in Lviv, and launched the special operation “Siren.”
  • The National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine are leading the murder investigation with cordons in place and appeals for verified public tips.
  • Witness and media accounts report the attacker wore a courier disguise and escaped on an electric bicycle, a detail authorities have not formally confirmed.
  • Law enforcement sources reported multiple shell casings at the scene, with several outlets citing seven, and officials said Parubiy died before medics arrived.
  • No motive has been established, though some politicians suggested a possible Russian link without evidence, while President Zelensky pledged all necessary resources for the search.
