A prominent anti-Russian activist has been shot dead in the Ukrainian city of Odessa, Ukraine, and law enforcement agencies say they do not rule out Russia’s involvement in the murder.
The 31-year-old victim was named Demia Hanul, blogger, which local media reported the May 2014 Revolution against Ukraine and then pro-Russian President. He was once a member of the right Far Right Group, the media reported.
“The case is described as a premeditated murder of the order,” said the national police with telegrams.
The Security Service said that the 46-year-old military desert was arrested as a suspect.
The possible motives of the crime are investigating that the local telegram says that this includes that it is connected with Russia.
The video posted by local telegram claims to attract the moment of shooting. It showed a rude man who keeps weapons on the head of a man lying on the sidewalk, possibly dead, shots and then walks.
Reuters failed to check the authenticity of the clip.
Russia’s state media has previously called Hanuli to Hanul Nazi, which is responsible at Odessa’s House in May 2004, citing proverbial activists and supporters of Ukrainian unity.

In April, the Moscow court accused Hanuli in April, including damaging the war, including the Soviet era, for which he would face up to 20 years in prison.
In July last year, several media outlets reported that Hanul had asked for the protection of Ukrainian police after receiving threats.
