The police identified persons involved in the assassination attempt on Kazakh opposition journalist Aidos Sadykov.
The incident took place on June 18 in Kyiv. The unknown persons shot at a parked car and severely wounded the journalist.
The wife of the victim, Natalia, informed that the police had identified the alleged attackers. The suspects are two citizens of Kazakhstan. The woman claims that one of the suspects, Meiram Karataev, is an employee of Kazakhstan’s law enforcement agencies.
The Prosecutor General’s office declared the suspicion to both of them. The arrest of the suspects has not yet been reported.
The President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, officially announced that the country’s authorities would cooperate with the investigation.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.

Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end.
