Zelensky on attack on aide’s car: “Response will be strong”

The head of state posted the relevant video address, Ukrinform reports.

“It’s a weakness to send me a ‘greeting’ by opening fire on from the forest on my friend's car. But the response will be strong,” Zelensky said.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Kyiv region’s Police Department has reported an attack on the vehicle of Serhiy Shefir, First Aide to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.

The CSI team is working at the crime scene, while law enforcers are calling for citizens to share any information available to clear up the circumstances of the attack.

A special police operation is underway to locate and detain the culprits.

Law enforcers have launched an inquiry into the incident.
