Oleh Boiko, the deputy of the so-called "head of the administration" of the occupied city of Berdiansk, was killed together with his wife who chaired the election commission that prepared the so-called "referendum" [a trumped-up voting that would aim to legitimise the merging of the occupied territory with Russia].
