Volodymyr Zelenskiy Believes Ukrainian Magnate Oleksiy Vadatursky Was Killed in a Missiles Hit

An adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said he believes the leading Ukrainian agricultural magnate Oleksiy Vadatursky was deliberately killed.

According to a report from the BBC, Mykhailo Podolyak said one of the missiles hit the businessman’s bedroom, adding that this “leaves no doubt” it was a targeted attack.

Authorities said Vadatursky, 74, and his wife Raisa were killed when a missile struck their home in the southern city of Mykolaiv.

Vadatursky was ranked Ukraine’s 24th richest man with a fortune worth $430m by Forbes, and was previously decorated with the prestigious “Hero of Ukraine” award.
