Ukraine’s interior minister among 18 killed after helicopter crash near Kyiv

A HELICOPTER crash in a Kyiv suburb on Wednesday killed 18 people, including Ukraine’s Interior Minister and three children, Ukrainian authorities said.

Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyi, his deputy Yevhen Yenin, and State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Yurii Lubkovych were among those killed, according to Ihor Klymenko, chief of Ukraine’s National Police.

Monastyrskyi is the most senior Ukrainian official to have died since the start of the war with Russia almost 11 months ago.
