A helicopter crash near Kyiv killed Ukraine’s interior minister and at least 17 others, including children. It marks the first cabinet-level death in the war
Ukraine’s interior minister and other senior officials were among at least 18 people killed when a helicopter crashed near a kindergarten on the edge of Kyiv on Wednesday morning, Ukrainian officials said.
The minister, Denys Monastyrsky, a first deputy minister, and another senior official were killed in the crash, Ukrainian police said. Nine of those killed had been on board the aircraft when it crashed in Brovary, on the outskirts of Kyiv, Ukraine’s national police chief said on his official Telegram channel.Kyiv’s governor, Oleksiy Kuleba, said separately that at least 18 people were killed, including three children.
The incident is the first time a top Ukrainian official has died since Russia first launched its full-scale invasion of the country in February 2022. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and other senior leaders have remained in Kyiv in a show of resistance, even when Russian forces fought their way to the edge of the capital in the early days of the war.Emergency teams work at the site of the helicopter crash in Brovary, outside Kyiv, Ukraine, on Wednesday.
Ukrainian forces have held out against a Russian offensive in the area for more than six months against overwhelming odds. The Russian paramilitary has led the fighting in Bakhmut, sending waves of often poorly trained and equipped troops to the front lines there in a battle that has left much of the city in ruins.Copyright ©2022 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
