russian policies: Voronenkov's bodyguard, a Ukrainian security services officer charged with protecting him, fired back during the attack and was himself seriously wounded, according to Brandon Sun. Ukrainian officials said the gunman, who they claimed was a Ukrainian citizen, later died from wounds in his chest and head. Denis Voronenkov, who had testified to Ukrainian investigators and criticized Russian policies after his move to Kyiv last fall, was shot dead by an unidentified gunman near the entrance of an upscale hotel in the Ukrainian capital. They did not identify the gunman. Poroshenko described the victim as a key witness who gave testimony about Russian aggression to Ukrainian authorities. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called Voronenkov's killing an act of state terrorism that clearly shows the handwriting of Russian special services, which has been shown repeatedly in various European capitals in the past.
