The deputy head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, said that the Ukrainian interior minister was on his way to a "hot spot" of the war when his helicopter crashed.
They were flying at low altitude to avoid Russian missiles, but dense fog made their flight difficult and unfortunately caused the tragic accident.
Meanwhile, according to the local media, it is learned that unfortunately the number of victims is increasing as it has reached 18, among them three children.
We recall that this morning around 08:30 the helicopter in which the Minister of the Interior of Ukraine Denys Monastyrskyy was traveling, crashed in the town of Brovary, outside Kiev, near a kindergarten with children.
According to Ihor Klymenko, head of the National Police of Ukraine, nine of the victims were on board the helicopter.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Denys Monastyrsky was one of the people on board the helicopter. His deputy, Yevgeniy Yenin, and the secretary of state, Yurii Lubkovych, also died in the incident. It is known that 29 people are injured, among them 15 children.
