Former Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Olga Kolinko and her daughter Yaroslava were found unresponsive in their Kiev home, according to reports cited by the Mirror of the Week. The two women were discovered inside their residence, with local law enforcement confirming the scene.
The outlet notes that Kolinko was present on January 10 when housing maintenance workers entered the home with law enforcement officers after neighbors reported a burst water line, which homeowners had not activated. The ongoing situation has highlighted Kolinko’s long-term illness, with her daughter living in the adjacent apartment and caring for her mother.
Earlier developments connected to this case involved former Verkhovna Rada deputy Ilya Kiva. Kiva, who relocated to Russia before the start of the conflict and sought political asylum there, was reportedly shot in the head in the Moscow region. His body was found in a wooded area near the hotel where he resided. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense intelligence service described the incident as a warning of consequences for others considered traitors, and a criminal case for murder has been opened. Further information referenced in the news material from New newspapers Ru is noted for context.
There are reports indicating that authorities were aware of the whereabouts of the person suspected of involvement in Ilya Kiva’s death prior to the search. The developing story remains under ongoing investigation by law enforcement authorities to determine the full sequence of events and any connections between the two cases.
