Andriy Portnov, a key adviser to former pro-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, was killed on May 21 outside Madrid. The police reported multiple gunshot wounds to his back and head, and attackers fled the scene. Long under scrutiny for alleged corruption and prior U.S. sanctions, Portnov had a controversial past, having fled Ukraine amidst political turmoil. His death may signify deeper implications regarding Ukrainian political dynamics and international responses to corruption.
Portnov, who has been under US sanctions since 2021 for alleged corruption, fled Ukraine in 2014 for Russia and reportedly then moved to Austria.
Official sources confirm that the victim was shot several times as he was about to get into a car. Several people shot him in the back and head.
