Amongst the death toll were Ukraine's Interior Minister, his deputy and the State Secretary
A helicopter crash near a Ukrainian nursery has killed 18 people including three children. Amongst the death toll from the tragic incident was Ukraine's Interior Minister, his deputy and the State Secretary, according to police.
The Mirror reports that the helicopter, said to be a Eurocopter EC225 Super Puma, was flying in fog when it crashed. The aircraft belonged to Ukraine’s emergencies ministry, and the reason for the crash is not immediately clear. Reports say a preliminary cause is “pilot error” but a full probe is underway. Kyiv region governor Oleksiy Kuleba earlier said: "At the time of the tragedy, children and staff of the institution were in the kindergarten. Everyone has now been evacuated. There are casualties."
Elsewhere, paying tribute to Mr Monastyrskyi, the UK Home Secretary said Ukraine lost a "leading light" in its resistance against Vladimir Putin's invasion. Suella Braverman said: "This is truly heart-breaking."
