Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has resigned after drawing backlash for his comments on a deadly missile strike in Dnipro.
At least 45 people were killed when a residential building in Dnipro was hit on Saturday, with 230 apartments damaged and 72 completely destroyed.
In a YouTube video, Arestovych said the building was likely struck by a Russian missile shot down by Ukraine, sparking a public outcry.
Apologizing for his remarks, the adviser said he had made “a fundamental error” and his resignation was “an example of civilized behavior.”
