"I have just heard a report from Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Ihor Klymenko, on the investigation into all the circumstances of the attack on people in Kyiv and the inaction of the two patrol officers who were at the scene of the crime but did not stop the killer and fled themselves. Criminal proceedings have already been initiated regarding this incident, and there will be a full review of the patrol officers’ conduct – they should have acted in those circumstances. The SBI is handling this case," he noted.
The investigation is being conducted jointly by the National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine.
"The Minister will take personnel decisions across the entire chain of command. We must review the protocols for responding to such situations, as well as the recruitment and training of patrol officers.
Eight people who were injured are currently in hospital. One person is in a critical condition. All necessary assistance is being provided.
We are going through a war and, unfortunately, every day we suffer human losses from Russian strikes on our positions. It is particularly painful to lose people like this, in an ordinary city, right on the street. Eternal memory to all those who have died," he concluded.
