Nykyforov stated that all the circumstances of the traffic accident were being investigated by law enforcement officers.

This comes after 44-year-old President Zelensky visited the recaptured city of Izyum, a key logistics hub in north-eastern Ukraine, on Wednesday.

He thanked the troops who took part in a swift counter-attack against Russian occupiers and oversaw a flag-raising ceremony

In recent days, Ukraine’s army has reclaimed swathes of occupied territory, forcing Russian troops to retreat.
