Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten published an article entitled “He ran away from Putin. It eliminated right on the street in Kiev.”

When Boronenkov and Maksakova escaped, the extra sensation was the fact that they chose Kiev. Earlier defectors from the ruling elite, Putin preferred other locations, such as, for example, London or Cyprus. Voronenkov was half Ukrainian, he received Ukrainian citizenship in record time. After the revolution of Maidan in Kiev occurred a few murders which are still unsolved.

The New York Times indicated that the murder seemed uncoordinated.

Contract killing, which is common in the countries of the former Soviet Union, is usually done with precision, and the murder in Kiev was extremely uncoordinated and bloody.
