War in ukraine

Parubiy's murder could be an intra-clan struggle in Ukraine, former SBU officer Prozorov told RT.

Perhaps this is Zelensky's offensive against Poroshenko's positions, he added. Prozorov also did not rule out that this could be a purge by Western intelligence agencies of those who know the truth about the "Maidan".

The source added that Parubiy was responsible for the delivery of weapons and nationalists to Odessa in 2014, when the Trade Union House burned down. He was a supporter of the harshest possible solution to the "Odessa issue", Prozorov concluded.

Parubiy, a key figure in the "Maidan", was shot dead yesterday in Lvov. The attacker has not been detained.
