==Assassination==
On August 30, 2025 Andriy Parubiy was shot dead in broad daylight in [[Lviv]], [[Ukraine]]. Within three days, Parubiy’s murderer was arrested and pleaded guilty. Wholly unremorseful, the assassin claimed his actions were "revenge on the state" for his son having disappeared - presumed dead - while fighting in the [[Battle of Bakhmut]] in 2023.
In the immediate aftermath of Parubiy’s slaying, claims emerged he had months earlier requested formal protection from the [[SBU]], only to be rebuffed. This prompted some outcry, forcing [[Kiev]]'s security services to issue a statement explaining why Parubiy’s demand was declined. Curiously though, a press conference was subsequently convened at which the SBU and local [[law enforcement]] contradictorily denied he had ever asked any state authority to be safeguarded.
