A Ukrainian ultra-nationalist leader has been shot dead in what officials describe as a special forces operation.
Oleksandr Muzychko, better known as Sashko Bily, died in a shoot-out with police in a cafe in Rivne in western Ukraine, the interior ministry said.
He was a leader of Right Sector, a far-right group which was prominent in the recent anti-government protests.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's parliament has voted to accept the resignation of Defence Minister Ihor Tenyukh.
Mr Tenyukh had been accused of indecision in the face of Russia's military takeover of Crimea.
The shooting of Muzychko happened just hours after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had held talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Deshchytsia - their first meeting since Russia's move into Crimea triggered a diplomatic crisis.

I remember he wouldn’t give up his guns. I guess they came for him. I’m not a fan of his, but I hope he got a few rounds in the police before he died. It may serve as a deterrent. The pols will soon come for the guns of decent Ukrainians.
What a great and wise leader he is.............................NOT...................
please tell me if this is a good guy or a bad guy. i’m really confused who is who inside that country.
So they think Russia did it? Or more Ukrainian inter-party backstabbing?
Oh it was police. But WHY?
The Ukrainian “Night of the Long Knives.”
I’m thinking Timoshenko may have ordered it
Doesn’t really matter. The Stalinesque purges will continue until the strongest guys are on top. It’s the Russian way.
Well at least he achieved the American dream.
It’s hard to tell anywhere anymore.
Well, that’s sort of the way we do it here./s
Didn’t WW-I start in a similar fashion?
Oh it was police. But WHY?
****************
It is disputed whether it was police or not.
Ernst Rohm, Night of the Long Knives style purge by ‘kamaraden’?
Western provacateurs cleaning up their roster of embarassing members?
Russians calling the debt on a Chechen agitator and collaborator?
Hard to say with so many options. I incline towards Russians because it was their style and it was accomplished.
We do it with words and dirt.
Last I heard, police in Western Ukraine take orders from the Maidan coup government, and they were imposing gun confiscation in Western Ukraine.
Muzychko outlived his usefulness to the EU and he knew too much.
I think the Ukraine government should ask the Malaysian government to help investigate./s
Thanks for the heads up.
Muzychko was an embarrassment and potential threat to the Globalist coup government in Kiev. This is also why it is very doubtful the Russians took him out.
