The Murder of Iryna Farion
- Iryna Farion was killed in Lviv on July 19, and the likely perpetrator of the assassination attempt was detained in Dnipro a week later.
- Vyacheslav Zinchenko denied his guilt. He was sentenced to two months of pretrial detention without the right to post bail.
- The investigation is considering several motives for the murder, including Farion's social and political activities and personal hostility. Investigators also do not rule out a “Russian trace” in the murder.
- On November 14, the court left Zinchenko in custody until January 12, 2025.
