Comment by Vyhivskyi
"Today's tragedy is yet another reminder of the price paid to maintain the security of the state, even far from the front line..
Police officers go on duty every day, aware of all the risks. They risk their lives not only on the front line, but also in the rear - on the streets of our cities and villages, during arrests, calls, and special operations. For them, there are no "safe shifts" or "quiet days". Every call-out could be their last," said Ivan Vyhivskyi, head of the National Police.
He expressed his sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased police officers.
One injured
A police officer from the community liaison sector of the prevention department of the Cherkasy District Police Department, Senior Lieutenant Oleksandr Shpak, was also wounded.
