Video: Last moments of Ukrainian Interior Minister’s helicopter crash captured on camera

Ukraine’s Interior Minister Denis Monastyrsky is among 16 people, including 2 children, who have been killed when a State Emergency Service helicopter crashed in a residential area of Brovary northeast of the capital Kyiv on Wednesday.

The incident, which took place near a kindergarten, reportedly happened due to a pilot error. Initial reports suggest that the helicopter hit the kindergarten before crashing close to a residential building.

Many observers said that the chopper was flying at a low altitude with poor visibility due to fog. An unverified video that has gone viral on social media claims to have captured the last moments of the ill-fated helicopter.


The crash also killed Monastyrsky’s deputy Yevgeny Yenin and State Secretary Yury Lubkovich. According to the Ukrainian police, 22 injured were taken to hospital, including 10 children.


42-year-old Monastyrsky had been Ukraine’s interior minister since July last year.

Several videos showed a building and its adjoining area on fire after the crash.


Both ministers were also believed to be close friends and colleagues.
