Unfortunately, the crime was carefully planned out. But everything is being done to solve this crime.

I also spoke with [Head of the Security Service] Vasyl Maliuk. The Security Service of Ukraine is involved in the investigation. I have instructed them to provide the public with verified information without delay."
