As investigations continue into the cause of a helicopter crash near Kyiv on Wednesday that killed the country's interior minister and several of his colleagues, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the tragedy was a consequence of the war.
"This [helicopter crash] is not an accident because it has been due to war and the war has many dimensions, not just on the battlefields - there are no accidents at war time. These are all war results ... every death is a result of the war," he told the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday.
After repeated revisions to the death toll Wednesday, it's now believed that 14 people died in the incident, including all nine people on board the helicopter, and at least one child. The crash took place near a kindergarten and residential buildings.
In other news, Russia's Federal Security Service said Thursday that it had initiated a criminal case against a U.S. citizen on suspicion of espionage, saying "the American is suspected of collecting intelligence information on biological topics," but provided few other details.
