Ukrainian authorities are investigating documents and audio recordings that appear to reveal a plot to murder Pavel Sheremet, an investigative journalist who was killed in a car bombing.
Ukrainian police confirmed Monday that they had received documents and recordings from 2012 in which anonymous people discuss a plot to kill Sheremet. The recordings have been passed to an expert for analysis.
The news website EUObserver alleged that the recordings are of Vadim Zaitsev, who at the time was chair of the Belarusian KGB, discussing plans in April 2012 with members of a special unit to kill perceived enemies of President Aleksandr Lukashenko, including Sheremet, who used to live and work in the country.

Ukrainian historian Yaroslav Hrytsak speaks about Zelenskyy’s electoral revolution, the link between today’s corruption schemes in Ukraine and Soviet-era violence, why history cannot be portrayed in such simplistic terms as “victory” and “betrayal”, why Ukraine is dragging its feet in reforms, and what type of hero Ukrainians actually need today.
Revolution: a virus similar to COVID-19
─ A sudden surge of public activity ─ street protests ─ victory ─ stagnation ─ social apathy ─ revanchism ─ a new surge of public activity… Can we ever escape this vicious circle? Is there a path of evolutionary development for Ukraine?
─ Revolutions have always transformed society.
