The head of the patrol police of Ukraine resigned after the shooting in Kiev.
The head of the patrol police of Ukraine, Yevgeny Zhukov, decided to resign after the scandal with the escape of the patrol crew during the shooting in Kiev. This was announced on April 19 by Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Maxim Buzhansky.
"Information has been received that the head of the patrol police, Zhukov, has resigned. The only right step in this situation," Buzhansky wrote on his Telegram channel.
In previous publications, Buzhansky reported that Zhukov was summoned to a plenary session of the Verkhovna Rada to clarify the situation and initiate his dismissal. According to the MP, Zhukov served as head of the patrol service for more than 10 years.
On April 18, an unknown person opened fire on people in the Holosiivsky district of Kiev. As a result of the incident, six people were killed and 15 others were injured. The man took people hostage and shot at the police during the arrest. He was eliminated by special forces.
The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine qualified the shooting as a terrorist act. Later, footage appeared on social networks showing how the police, having heard the first shots and screams of people, abruptly fled. At the same time, the people who stayed in place found themselves without protection. A criminal case has been opened into the police escape.
