Botched Assassination in Kyiv

Would-be killers almost self-immolate

Novopecherski Lipky has got to be one of the worst places in Kyiv, maybe in the whole of Europe, to assassinate your rival. The prestigious residential business-class complex located in the capital’s Pechersk district is full of security guards and CCTV cameras. President Volodymyr Zelensky’s son attends an elementary school located within the tightly guarded complex, which is owned by Ukrainian billionaire Vasyl Khmelnytsky.
