The Most Important Unsolved Murder in the World: The Killing of the Ukrainian Peace Negotiator
Episode 3
Friday, 19 December, 2025
As peace negotiations continue around the world to - purportedly - end the Ukraine-Russian War. CrimeWaves re-releases our episode about the murder of the peace negotiator days after the war began in 2022. The killing is still unsolved. It reveals the challenges - the murders of Ukrainian opposition figures and journalists, the deep CIA involvement in Ukraine, the Ultra-Nationalist Ukrainian forces, a police and defense industry both corrupt and saturated with Russian influence - facing those who want peace in Ukraine. **It is the most Important, unsolved murder in the world today. Just after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, peace talks began between the two countries. A few days later, at the negotiations, there was an alleged case of poisoning where a number of the delegates, mysteriously, feel ill. Then one of the Ukrainian team - Denys Kireev - was gunned down on the streets of Kiev. Immediately after his death, another Ukrainian peace negotiator fled to the Polish border. He was arrested and put in prison for months.Why were some of the people at these important peace talks targeted and by whom?The peace deal between Russia and Ukraine was eventually sabotaged by the US and UK governments.Yet three years after the murder there have been no trials or even an arrest. On CrimeWaves, we are joined by Professor Ivan Katchanovski of the University of Ottawa to discuss the unsolved murder of the Ukrainian negotiator and the circumstances around the undermining of the peace deal that would have prevented the deaths of hundreds-of-thousands of people. #UkrainianRussiaWar #truecrimepodcast #Russiaukrainewar #Putin #CIA Send us a textPlease subscribe, rate, review or like this episode of CrimeWaves at YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
