It said a criminal case on suspicion of premeditated murder had been opened.<\/p>\n<p>A senior lawmaker said the aide, Serhiy Shefir, was not hurt. Shefir is one of the officials closest to the president, leading a group of advisers.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskiy, who came to power on a promise to take on the country&#x27;s oligarchs and fight corruption, is currently in the United States at the U.N. General Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskiy adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said the assassination attempt could be a result of the president&#x27;s fight against the oligarchs.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This open, deliberate and extremely violent assault with automatic weapons cannot be qualified any differently than as an attempted killing of a key team member,&quot; Podolyak told Reuters. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;We, of course, associate this attack with an aggressive and even militant campaign against the active policy of the head of state,&quot; Interfax Ukraine quoted Podolyak as saying.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We emphasize that the president&#x27;s policy aimed at fundamental transformation of the state will remain unchanged,&quot; he told Reuters, promising tougher measures against oligarchs.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian parliament this week is due to debate a presidential law directed on reducing the influence of oligarchs.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/09\/22\/shots-fired-at-car-carrying-ukraine-presidents-aide-driver-wounded.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 10 bullets hit the car<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":139658,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Shots fired at car carrying Ukraine president&#x27;s aide;
