Pro-Russia Ukrainian MP Illia Kyva shot dead in Moscow suburb

Ukraine’s military intelligence spokesperson tells national TV that former politician ‘is done’

A former Ukrainian MP regarded by Kyiv as a traitor has been reportedly shot dead in a park in suburban Moscow by Ukraine’s SBU security service.

Illia Kyva was a pro-Russian member of Ukraine’s parliament before Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, but fled to Russia a month before the start of the war and frequently criticised Ukrainian authorities online and on Russian state TV talkshows.
