A Ukrainian lawmaker wounded in an explosion in Kiev that killed two people blamed Russia on Thursday for the blast that Ukrainian officials called an act of terrorism. Ukraine’s state security service (SBU) said that unknown perpetrators had rigged a motorcycle with explosives that detonated as the lawmaker left a TV station. Radical party leader Oleg Lyashko said he had no doubt the incident was politically motivated, while Mosiychuk blamed Russia. “I believe that the initiators are in Moscow, the executors are in Kiev,” Mosiychuk said on Facebook. Radical Party lawmaker Evhen Deidei posted photos on his Facebook page from the scene of Wednesday’s attack which showed the burnt-out shell of a motorcycle in front of a damaged vehicle.
