Kyiv Shooting Suspect is Claimed to Have Shared Anti-Jewish Content
(MENAFN) A man suspected of carrying out a deadly shooting in Kyiv—reportedly killing six people and injuring more than a dozen others before being shot by police after barricading himself inside a grocery store—had allegedly posted extremist and antisemitic content online, according to reports.
The suspect, identified in reports as Dmitry Vasilchenkov, is said to have opened fire on civilians at random during the incident. Authorities later killed him after the situation escalated inside the store.
Reports indicate that he was born in Moscow in 1968, later held Ukrainian citizenship, and served in the Ukrainian military until the early 2000s. He is also said to have lived in Russia between 2015 and 2017 before returning to Kyiv.
Online activity attributed to him reportedly included a series of disturbing posts on an old social media account active several years ago, in which he expressed antisemitic views and violent rhetoric. In one of the posts, he allegedly wrote: “Hitler didn’t kill enough” while referencing historical mass violence.
In another entry titled “On Jews and Jewry,” he is reported to have said that various historical figures and regimes “killed and killed, but did not kill enough.”
Additional posts allegedly included calls for violence, including statements such as calling for Jews to be “wiped out,” and references to extremist violence framed in antisemitic terms. In one message, he reportedly wrote that certain groups were “destroying the wrong people” and instead should have targeted “Judeo-criminals and Judeo-cultists,” adding that “the Jews need to be hanged.”
He also allegedly listed historical figures he claimed should be studied, writing: “On what to do – study Pope Borgia (15th century), Kotovsky, Petlyura, Hitler, Bandera, Brezhnev,” according to reports.
The suspect is also reported to have filed legal complaints in recent years seeking increases in his military pension and had prior encounters with law enforcement. Video material cited in reports allegedly shows him involved in an earlier altercation inside a store.
