The investigation is being jointly carried out by the National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine.
Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Igor Kbry said that in In fulfillment of the President's instructions, working groups of the National Police and the SBU have been formed, which are jointly engaged in solving the murder of Irina Farion.
The necessary examinations have already been ordered in the case, witnesses have been interviewed, and a cartridge case from a cartridge fired by the attacker has been found. There is also a suspect: lately there has been a man constantly at the politician’s house. Due to the blackout, surveillance cameras could not record him all the time, but there is reason to believe that he could be the perpetrator of the crime. Versions about the involvement of anti-Ukrainian figures in the assassination attempt are also being explored; law enforcement officers are monitoring information on pro-Russian Internet resources.
Mr. Klimenko is convinced that this is a deliberate, and not a spontaneous murder, the preparation of which took at least a week or two . The minister expects to receive the first results of investigative actions to identify the shooter and search for him on the morning of Saturday, July 20.
