Ukraine’s ‘biggest traitor’ killed in horror assassination on reckless Putin’s doorstep | World | News
A former Ukrainian MP has reportedly been killed in Russia by Ukraine‘s SBU security service. Illya Kyva had previously been sentenced to 14 years in prison for high treason and publicly advocating for Ukraine‘s occupation.
He was convicted in absentia after fleeing Ukraine. According to multiple Ukrainian media reports, the SBU was also responsible for the assassination of the 46-year-old former lawmaker.
When the Russian invasion began, Kyva fled to Russia, aligning himself with Russian propagandists and declaring that “the Ukrainian people must be liberated” while claiming that “Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Russians are one people.”
Kyva’s parliamentary mandate was revoked by Ukraine‘s Verkhovna Rada in March 2022.
Ukraine’s military intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov said: “We can confirm that [Ilya] Kyva is the real deal, this is the fate that befalls the biggest traitors of Ukraine, as well as the henchmen of the Putin regime. He was one of the biggest and most disgusting scum, a traitor and collaborator.
“So here we can only state that justice….has different forms… Among others, characters like Kyva…unfortunately, there are still plenty in Russia.”
Kyva’s body was discovered “covered in blood” in the park area of the Odintsovsky district, according to Russian media citing emergency services.
Shortly before Kyiva declared in a social media post: “At this stage, many countries are ready to accept [Zelensky] and his family and guarantee safety of life, but it is impossible to be sure that they will not be extradited later.
“A logical end of the ******* who drowned the nation in blood.
“It would be better for Zelensky to commit suicide now, as losers have always done, to take all the problems with him and close the issue.
“But he is too cowardly and narcissistic for such actions.”
He headed the Socialist party in the Ukrainian parliament from 2017 to 2019, having previously served as a policeman.
