A US Embassy employee has been found dead in a hotel in Kyiv, local media has reported.
The unnamed embassy attaché was found Tuesday at the Kyiv Hilton, according to online newspaper Strana UA. "Yesterday at about 11:00 a.m. the body of an attaché of the U.S. Embassy was found in a hotel room. No signs of violence were found on the body. The man arrived in Ukraine on June 15," one source said, Strana UA reported. Another source added: "According to medical data provided by the U.S. Embassy, the man suffered from high cholesterol."
Another Ukrainian news outlet, New Voice (NV), claimed there were no signs of injury on the man's body, and that the door of the hotel had been closed from the inside. "No autopsy was performed—the body was taken by the U.S. Embassy. It is known that the man had high cholesterol levels," NV reported, citing unnamed sources. The Mirror has reached out to the US State Department for comment.
It comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy prepares to sign a security agreement with the European Union tomorrow. The deal includes an EU pledge to continue supplying weapons, training and other types of aid to Kyiv for several years. Back in 2021, a Russian diplomat with suspected links to the FSB was found dead after falling from a window in the Russian Embassy in Berlin, reports said.
The embassy described the 35-year-old man’s death as a “tragic accident”. Berlin police discovered a lifeless body on the pavement in front of an embassy building in Berlin on October 19, 2021 at around 7:20am, say reports. Resuscitation attempts by rescue workers were unsuccessful. A Russian opposition newspaper gave the name of the diplomat as Kirill Zhalo, and said his father was a high-powered FSB general.
