Kyiv under shock: former military officer shoots in café, police fail their duty, Zelensky warns of existential Russian threat
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
Ukrainska Pravda reveals the shooter was a former Ukrainian military officer and that the incident is now being investigated as an act of terrorism—among the six dead are the parents of a wounded boy. The national police chief disclosed details. Two officers are suspended for fleeing the scene, a humiliation for law enforcement in wartime. Meanwhile, Zelensky issues a major warning: Russia could announce a 'general mobilization to attack Ukraine or the Baltic states.' He also reports a security cooperation agreement with India and denounces the 2.3 billion dollars in Russian oil revenues destroyed by Ukrainian strikes in March.
