The Ukrainian authorities detained a suspect on Thursday in the killing of Iryna Farion, a divisive far-right Ukrainian politician who was shot dead by a gunman last week in the western city of Lviv, a crime that shocked the nation. He said the suspect had been arrested in his hometown, Dnipro, a large city more than 500 miles east of Lviv in eastern Ukraine. Mr. Klymenko added that a preliminary investigation suggested that the suspect had worked with others to plan the killing. He added that the suspect, while preparing for the killing for at least two months, had “rented at least three apartments in Lviv.” Mr. Klymenko did not rule out the possibility of Russian involvement. Ms. Farion died on Friday after an unknown assailant shot her in broad daylight near her home in Lviv.

☆ Divisive Far-Right Politician in Ukraine Is Fatally Shot

A gunman shot and killed a far-right Ukrainian politician who stirred controversy with campaigns to promote the Ukrainian language and discredit Russian-speaking compatriots, the authorities say. The former lawmaker, Iryna Farion, was a highly divisive figure. A linguist who belonged to a hard-line nationalist party, she was despised by some for her denunciation of Russian-speaking fighters in elite Ukrainian military units. Many Ukrainians speak Russian, especially in eastern regions closer to Russia. “This was not a spontaneous murder,” he told a news conference on Saturday, adding that it might have been politically motivated or a personal matter.

Dmitri Lovetsky/APData from Ukraine’s air force shows that all three Iskander ballistic missiles and four Kh-22 cruise missiles fired by Russian forces evaded attempts to bring them down. Ukraine did have some success, bringing down 26 of 29 Kh-101, Kh-555 and Kh-55 type cruise missiles, all three Kalibr cruise missiles and 15 of 20 Shahed drones fired by Russia. Valentyn Ogirenko/ReutersThe air force said an array of means was used to try to defeat the Russian attack, including air defense missiles, ground forces, and electronic warfare systems. International analysts say the onslaught of Russian missiles, stockpiled for months, aims to overwhelm Ukraine’s limited missile defense. The Ukrainian air defense is working “at the edge of its capacity,” Oleksiy Melnyk, co-director of international security programs at the Kyiv-based Razumkov Center think tank, told CNN.
