Pavel Sheremet asks president Petro Poroshenko a question during his press conference on June 3 2016.
On July 20, shocking news about killing the prominent journalist Pavel Sheremet shook Ukraine. The incident happened not in the war zone, but in the center of Kyiv, at the time when it seemed that the media environment in the rest of the country had improved. The explosive device detonated in the car belonging to Olena Prytula, the head of the Ukrayinska Pravda online newspaper and civil wife of the killed journalist, making it unclear whom the attackers aimed for. President Petro Poroshenko and Head of Police Khatia Dekanoidze have already stated that investigating the case is a matter of honor for them.
