Iryna Farion, a former Ukrainian nationalist politician and defender of the Ukrainian language, was shot dead in Lviv. President Zelenskyy directed efforts to solve her killing.
Authorities are considering personal animosity, social/political activities, and the possibility of a contract killing in investigating Farion's death. Lines of inquiry include one leading to Russia, according to President Zelenskyy.
The Svoboda party blamed Moscow for Farion's death, while Russian broadcaster RT's editor celebrated the killing, tying it to Farion's stance on the Russian-speaking population.
