Ex-speaker shot dead in Ukraine

August 31, 2025

A former Ukrainian speaker of parliament who was a leading figure in the country's pro-European protest movements in 2004 and 2014 was shot dead on Saturday in western Ukraine, officials said.

RUSSIA launched a mass attack on southern Ukraine, local officials said, two days after a rare airstrike on central Kyiv killed 23 and damaged European Union diplomatic offices as US-led efforts to end Moscow's three-year war on its neighbour staggered.

Among other locations hit, the assault overnight into Saturday struck a five-story residential building, killing at least one civilian and wounding 28 people, including children, in the Zaporizhzhia region, Gov Ivan Fedorov reported.

Russia launched 537 strike drones and decoys, as well as 45 missiles, according to Ukraine's Air Force. Ukrainian forces shot down or neutralised 510 drones and decoys and 38 missiles, the force reported.

The Kremlin on Thursday said Russia remained interested in continuing peace talks, despite the air attack on Kyiv that day that was one of the largest and deadliest since Moscow's full-scale invasion in 2022.
