Police patrol chief quits over ‘shameful’ response to Kyiv shooting

Yevhen Zhukov, the head of Ukraine's police patrol, resigned from his position on Sunday following criticism of the police response to a deadly shooting in Kyiv. The resignation comes after an incident on Saturday in the Ukrainian capital where an unknown gunman killed at least six people and injured over a dozen others. Two police officers were reportedly seen fleeing the scene during the shooting. Zhukov, a police general with combat experience, stated that he believed resigning was the right course of action given the circumstances. The incident and subsequent resignation have drawn attention to the performance of the police force.
