(1ST UPDATE) Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyi was killed alongside his first deputy, Yevheniy Yenin, and other officials in a helicopter belonging to the state emergency service.
BROVARY, Ukraine – Eighteen people including Ukraine’s interior minister, other senior ministry officials and three children were killed on Wednesday morning, January 18, when a helicopter crashed near a nursery outside Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said.
National police chief Ihor Klymenko said Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyi had been killed alongside his first deputy, Yevheniy Yenin, and other officials in a helicopter belonging to the state emergency service. Monastyrskyi, responsible for the police and security inside Ukraine, would be the most senior Ukrainian official to die since the war began.
After major Ukrainian gains in the second half of 2022, the frontlines have hardened over the last two months. Kyiv says it hopes new Western weapons would allow it to resume an offensive to recapture land, especially heavy tanks which would give its troops mobility and protection to push through Russian lines.
