    Ukraine's National Police Chief and acting Interior Minister Ihor Klimenko

Ukraine's government appointed national police chief Ihor Klymenko as acting Interior Minister on Wednesday, according to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

The Ukrainian PM said Klymenko had officially been appointed to the role of Deputy Interior Minister but would fulfill the responsibilities of the Minister.

Shmyhal announced the appointment hours after a helicopter crashed near a kindergarten and residential buildings in Brovary killing Ukraine's Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyi and his first deputy Yevgeny Enin, who were in the helicopter at the time.

At least 14 people were killed in the crash, including 1 child, while 25 people were reported injured.

He added that a new head of the ministry will be appointed later after parliamentary discussions regarding the name.
