Ukrainian Police Patrol Chief Resigns Following Officers' Flight During Kyiv Supermarket Shooting

Following a shooting in Kyiv that resulted in six fatalities, Yevhen Zhukov, the chief of Ukraine's police patrol, stepped down from his position. The tragic event unfolded on Saturday when a gunman began shooting in the capital, ultimately leading to his death at the hands of anti-terrorism units after he had taken hostages in a supermarket. At a press conference in Kyiv on Sunday, Zhukov, a general with a background in combat, expressed that resigning was the appropriate course of action. Authorities have labeled the incident a terrorist attack and are probing the motives of the 58-year-old assailant. Online videos showed two officers fleeing the scene amidst the chaos of gunfire.
