Ukraine's Zelenskiy says suspect arrested in murder of former parliamentary speaker Parubiy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said a suspect has been arrested over the shooting of Andriy Parubiy, the country’s former parliamentary speaker, who was gunned down in Lviv on Saturday, Reuters reported.

Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said the man was caught in the Khmelnytskyi region and had carefully tracked Parubiy’s movements, mapped his route, and prepared an escape plan. Officials said the killing was premeditated.

Parubiy, 54, led parliament from 2016 to 2019 and was a prominent figure in Ukraine’s 2013–14 pro-European protests. Zelenskiy called his murder “horrific” and promised a full investigation.
