The Sentinel
|May 22, 2025
AN ADVISER to former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych was shot dead when gunmen targeted him outside the American School of Madrid, Spanish authorities have said.
-
Andriy Portnov, 51, was identified as the victim by Spain's Interior Ministry. He was shot at 9.15am local time (0815 BST), authorities said, after apparently dropping his children off for class.
Witnesses reported that Mr Portnov was shot "several times" in the head and body by more than one gunman when he was getting into his car, a black Mercedes-Benz, police said.
The assailants then fled on foot.
Madrid's emergency services said that he was found dead when medics arrived with at least three shots to his body.
