“The suspect has given an initial testimony,” Zelensky said on the Telegram messaging app. “Urgent investigative actions are currently under way to establish all the circumstances of this murder.”
Paruby, 54, was shot dead in the western city of Lviv on Saturday in what Zelensky called “a horrific murder” and a “matter of security in a country at war”.
Paruby had been parliamentary speaker from April 2016 to August 2019 and was one of the leaders of protests in 2013-14 calling for closer ties with the European Union.
“I thank law enforcement for their swift and coordinated work. All the circumstances of this horrific murder must be uncovered,” Zelensky said.
