A 🇺🇦 Ukrainian lawmaker, who was previously the chair of his country’s parliament, has been shot dead in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, officials said Saturday.

Authorities are still searching for the killer of Andriy Parubiy, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a post on social media, calling the member of parliament’s death a “horrendous murder” and offering his condolences to the victim’s loved ones.

Parubiy, who was also once the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, died before medical personnel arrived on the scene, according to Maksym Kozitskiy, the head the Lviv region military administration.

Ukraine’s General Prosecutor’s Office said that a special operation named “Siren” was launched to investigate the killing.

An unknown man is thought to have fired “several shots” at the politician and then fled, it said.

European officials including Roberta Metsola, the president of the European Parliament, offered their condolences to Parubiy’s loved ones and the people of Ukraine.

Metsola said she was “deeply shocked by the terrible murder,” while officials from Estonia and Poland also paid tribute to the victim.

Ukrainian member of parliament Iryna Gerashchenko called Parubiy’s death “terrorism,” describing him as a “colleague and friend, a reliable comrade” who “was principled and decent, patriotic, intelligent.”

Petro Poroshenko, a former Ukrainian president, said that Parubiy was “shot dead by monsters in Lviv.”

“What can be said for certain is that these monsters are afraid, and that is why they kill true patriots and strong people,” he wrote on social media. “This crime is not just shots fired at a person. It is a shot at the army. It is a shot at the language. It is a shot at faith. It is a shot at the heart of Ukraine.”

Poroshenko stressed that “the enemy will never be able to kill the ideals for which… Parubiy lived and fought,” adding that, “Ukraine has lost a great son, but his cause will live on as long as our state lives.”

🇷🇺 Russia has bombed a 🇬🇧 British Council building and the European headquarters in Kyiv in a 'deliberate' double strike during a huge onslaught on the Ukrainian capital that has left at least 17 dead.

Video shows a missile slamming into the British building in a fireball explosion at around 5.40am before a second followed 20 seconds later leaving it 'severely damaged'.

The British Council, which offers educational courses and English language programmes, is run independently but receives sponsorship from the Foreign Office.

Another building that was occupied by the European Union's delegation to Kyiv was also hit with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen accusing Moscow of a 'deliberate' strike and 'targeting the EU'.

A furious Keir Starmer accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of 'sabotaging' any hopes of peace while Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attacks showed 'Russia still does not fear the consequences'.

While no EU staff was harmed, a security guard was injured in the British Council attack. There was also bloodshed across the city with Putin launching 629 drones and missiles - including hypersonic rockets - across the country, the second-highest figure of the entire war, leaving apartment buildings in tatters and at least 17 dead.

It comes as Putin continues to stall on talks about ending the war and despite US President Donald Trump's push for a ceasefire.

Following the strikes, the EU has summoned Moscow's envoy in Brussels. Kaja Kallas the bloc's foreign policy chief said: 'It shows that the Kremlin will stop at nothing to terrorise Ukraine, blindly killing civilians, men, women and children, and even targeting the European Union'.

The 🇷🇺 Russian Ministry of Defense announced that a 🇺🇦 Ukrainian reconnaissance ship, Simferopol, was sunk in the Danube estuary by a Russian unmanned surface vessel (USV).

Ukrainian Navy's reconnaissance ship Simferopol, which was reportedly the largest ship commissioned by the country in over a decade, has been hit and sunk in a naval drone strike, the Russian Defence Ministry announced on Thursday.

According to the ministry’s statement, a high-speed unmanned boat was used to strike the Simferopol, a medium reconnaissance vessel of the Ukrainian Navy. As a result of the attack, the Ukrainian ship went down.

Military analysts noted that this incident marked the first major success in the use of Russian naval kamikaze drones against a large Ukrainian ship since the beginning of the special military operation.

The Simferopol, with a displacement of 1,220 tons, was converted in 2019 from a former trawler. Its reconnaissance suite was built around the Melkhior electronic intelligence station.

Among the likely additional systems on board were wideband direction-finding antennas supplied by Rohde & Schwarz, which Ukraine imported in May 2019. Until now, the ship had been officially listed as still undergoing factory trials.
