KIEV, Ukraine — A prominent Ukrainian journalist known for his
pro-Russian views was shot dead on Thursday in Kiev by two masked
gunmen, the interior ministry said, a day after a former lawmaker loyal
to ousted President Viktor Yanukovych was also killed.
Oles Buzina, 45, was known for his pro-Russian opinion pieces published in Ukraine's Sevodnya daily newspaper, which is part of the media empire of Ukraine's richest businessman Rinat Akhmetov.
"Today at 1320 hrs (6:20 a.m. EDT) ... two unidentifiable men in masks shot journalist Oles Buzina," the ministry said in an online statement. The shooting appeared to have taken place outside his home and a team of police investigators was at the scene.
