Shots fired at adviser to Ukrainian president in assassination attempt

What they're saying: Mykhailo Podolyak, another aide to Zelenskyy, told Reuters that the attack may have been motivated by Zelenskyy's promise to crack down on Ukrainian oligarchs.

• "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," Podolyak said.

The big picture: The Ukrainian parliament is set to debate a presidential law that would define who is an oligarch and would reduce their influence over politics and certain economic policies, like privatizations.

• Zelenskyy said he would denounce Russia’s military intervention in eastern Ukraine during his speech at the UN, according to the Times.
