Russian “traitor” ex-MP killed in Russia – Ukraine

Former member of Ukrainian Parliament, Illya Kyva, was killed in Russia by Ukraine’s security service, SBU, according to law enforcement sources who told the media.

According to sources, the criminal was shot with a small gun and killed.

Russian investigators said they found his body outside Moscow.

Earlier this year, Kyva was sentenced to 14 years in jail for betraying his country and asking for Ukraine to be taken over. He ran away from Ukraine and was found guilty when he wasn’t there.

Many Ukrainian news sources said that their sources claimed the SBU was responsible for killing the 46-year-old former lawmaker.

“Yes, Kyva is gone” Other Ukrainian traitors and puppets of Putin’s government will face the same destiny. Andriy Yusov, who speaks for Ukraine’s military intelligence, said this on Ukrainian TV.

Russia’s law enforcement agency said that initial information suggests that Kyva was killed by a gunshot in a village near Moscow called Suponevo. A crime investigation is happening now.

Kyva tried to become the president of Ukraine in 2019 but did not win. He then left the country just one month before Russia started a big attack in February 2022.

He was often on TV shows in Russia that try to persuade people to believe certain things.

He was planning to ask to live in Russia because he was in trouble in his own country.

In other news, a politician named Oleg Popov, who was supported by Russia, was killed by a bomb in his car in the city of Luhansk in Ukraine. This happened on Wednesday, according to local officials.

Russia has taken control of most of the Luhansk region. Ukraine has not said anything about the attack.

He died a few weeks after another politician from Luhansk was also killed in an attack that was claimed by Kyiv.

Since Russia invaded, the SBU and military intelligence have said they carried out successful missions against important targets in the areas Russia took over and in Russia.

The bridge connecting Crimea to Russia has been attacked many times, causing a lot of damage.

Last week, the SBU destroyed a railway in Russia’s Far East near China’s border that was an important transportation center.
