Gunman in Ukraine kills Putin foe in attack denounced as ‘state terrorism’
The Washington Compost ^ | March 23, 2017 | Andrew Roth and Natalie Gryvnak

A former Russian member of parliament who defected to Ukraine and began sharply criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin was gunned down Thursday in downtown Kiev in an apparent contract killing.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called the murder of Denis Voronenkov, a former member of Russia’s Communist Party who fled to Kiev in October 2016, an “act of state terrorism by Russia.”

A suspected assailant was arrested after Voronenkov was shot twice in the head, dying on the spot. The suspect’s identity or other details were not immediately made public. In Moscow, a Kremlin spokesman denied Russian involvement in the killing.

For the next 24-48 hours, the Enemy Media asks:

“What did Trump KNOW about this assassination and WHEN did he know it?!?!?!”

Yep. Those wily Ukrainians have a habit of offing Putin’s critics.

Freepers are everywhere... We walked by the corner less than 10 minutes after it happened. Police were just putting up the tape, people were all around, and traffic was backed up. Not knowing what had happened we high-tailed it out of there. If I hadn't decided to delay our metro ride by drinking a cup of coffee, we could have been there as it happened.

You are right, the Soviet KGB would not have been that sloppy. However, I am not sure that they would have killed a man like Denis Voronenkov, but now Putin has replaced KGB by other organs.

The killer is Pavlo Parshov, “an agent of Russian special services who infiltrated Ukrainian defense agencies.”

Russia is trying to cover up the case, by blaming it on organized crime https://en.crimerussia.com/gromkie-dela/new-version-of-voronenkov-murder-conflict-with-cashiers-gang/
