Arkady Babchenko killed

Famous journalist Arkady Babchenko was shot three times in the back in Kyiv. He left Russia last year, fearing persecution. The journalist then lived in Europe for a while but was forced to return to Kyiv.

The killer was waiting for Babchenko in the entrance of his building, where the assassination took place. His wife ran out at the sound of the gunshots. She also called an ambulance. However, the journalist died before arriving at the hospital.
