BBC: Ukraine's interior ministry leadership killed in helicopter crash
The three main figures in Ukraine's interior ministry have been killed in a helicopter crash beside a nursery in an eastern suburb of the capital Kyiv.
Interior Minister Denys Monastyrsky, 42, died alongside his first deputy minister and state secretary.
Fourteen people died when the helicopter came down in Brovary around 08:30 local time (06:30 GMT), including one child, authorities said.
There is no indication the crash was anything other than an accident.
But the SBU state security service said it was following several possible causes for the crash, which included sabotage as well as a technical malfunction or breach of flight rules.
The State Emergency Service had previously stated that up to 18 people were killed but later revised the death toll from the crash, saying 14 had died.

Zelensky better not get on any choppers in the near future.
At least he didn’t fall out of a window.
When the captain dies, we all move up in rank.
Star trek. Mirror mirror
They never mention the poor pilots..
Not exactly smart to have this many top officials on the same flight in wartime. I guess they got careless.
