An ally of the former President Yanukovych, Oleg Kalashnikov, was found dead at his home in Kiev on Wednesday evening.
Ukranian police said the 52-year-old former deputy of Yanukovych’s Party of Regions (PR) had been shot, although it was not yet clear whether it was murder or suicide. Police have opened an investigation.
Kalashnikov was a main supporter of the”anti-Maidan”demonstrations that backed the pro-Kremlin President Yanukovych before he was deposed in February last year. The anti-Maidan movement was formed in rebuttal to the Euromaidan protests that called for closer ties between Ukraine and the European Union, and ultimately led to Yanukovych’s ousting.
