KYIV – Each year on July 20, a community of journalists and friends of Pavlo Sheremet, the Belarusian-born Ukrainian journalist murdered in 2016, come to the place in the center of Ukraine’s capital where he was killed. This year a monument was unveiled near the site where an improved explosive device was planted under his car. Four years later, the murder case has yet to be solved.
The editor-in-chief of Ukrayinska Pravda, the news outlet where Sheremet worked his last years, Sevhil Musayeva, spoke at the opening ceremony. She thanked, in particular, sculptor Nazar Bilyk, who created the memorial, and Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
