At least 14 killed in Ukrainian helicopter crash – Death of Zelensky Aide Leaves Void in Leadership Team
Ukraine’s minister of internal affairs, Denys Monastyrsky, was among at least 14 people who died yesterday in a helicopter crash. He is the highest-ranking Ukrainian official to die since the beginning of Russia’s invasion last year. An investigation is underway, but there were no initial signs that the aircraft had been shot down.
Monastyrsky’s death deals a blow to a ministry that has played a critical role in the war effort: He oversaw police and emergency services and handled rescue efforts after missile strikes. His top deputy was also killed in the crash, as well as other pivotal figures in Ukraine’s wartime leadership.
The accident comes as the U.S. begins to soften its stance against giving Ukraine the weapons it needs to target Crimea, despite the risk of escalation. Kyiv is looking to strike Russia’s land bridge, a critical supply route that connects Crimea to Russia through the occupied cities of Melitopol and Mariupol.
