It is not yet clear whether there is a murder for political purposes. Andriy Portnov’s name was on the list of Ukrainian enemies prepared by the Mirotvorets website, many of whom were killed. The list contains thousands of characters, including foreign politicians and journalists. When one of them is killed, the word “Eliminated” appears next to the photo. Portnov has been included in the list since 2015 because they have been accepted as “homeland”, and in the past, Ukrainian secret services were investigated for alleged ties with Moscow. Only in Spain, a few murders of the Russians and high -profile Ukrainians have occurred since the beginning of the Russians. In April 2022, Sergei Protospenyan, former ruler of GD Gnl Novatek, was apparently killed in his wife and daughter with suicide and knife wounds in 2024 in Lloret de Mar.
Currently, the inspectors invite all hypotheses in the incident to receive the first information in the “Attention” case. For now, no arrests about this murder have been confirmed: doubt is that the ambush against Portnov is probably made by two or three people.
What are their ties with Andriy Portnov and Kyiv government?
Between 2011-2014, Portnov was a member of the Assembly of Yanukovich. With the end of his former President of Ukraine, Portnov became the vice president of the cabinet by supervising the country’s judicial issues. He also offers an experience in the Ukrainian media and always approached Moscow: in 2018, he directed the Ukrainian television channel for Phili-Russo Newsson for a short time.
52 years was one of those responsible for the actions of intervention in the Ukrainian government in the Ukrainian government in 2014. Later, for suspicions of “corruption” and “human rights violations” in his country, a European Union was included in the black list for a certain period of time, which was temporarily frozen by the European Union General Court. In addition, Ukrainian secret services opened an investigation against him for “high betrayal” and suspected that the Crimea played an active role in the annexation of Russia. Portnov remained in Ukraine until June 2022, when it was released from a border crossing in the Transcartpazia region.
