Ukraine bus siege ends with all 13 hostages freed, suspect in custody

Gunman has demanded Ukrainian officials post videos online.A tense day-long stand-off between Ukrainian police and a heavily armed man who took 13 people hostage on board a bus in westernAuthorities had been negotiating with the man for most of Tuesday after he boarded the bus and told police he had rigged the vehicle with explosives and was taking the passengers hostage. Police launched a major operation, cordoning off the bus in a main square and officers trained guns on it.

The stand-off finally ended shortly after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called the gunman and fulfilled one of his demands -- to post a video in which he called on people to watch the 2005 documentary film, 'Earthlings." A film by that name in 2005, directed by Shaun Monson and narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, depicts human's exploitation of animals.

"The life of a person is the most important value. We have lost no one. Today the family and friends can be with everyone who suffered through the day in the bus under the gun sight. Terrorism has not place in any country," Zelenskiy wrote.A police car blocks the road where a bus with hostages stays in Lutsk, Ukraine, July 21, 2020.Nikolay Martynyuk/EPA via Shutterstock

The posts included the demands that the heads of numerous Ukrainian government and judicial bodies, as well as Orthodox church leaders and prominent oligarchs make videos where they would say there were terrorists. In the posts, he wished people"Happy Anti-System Day" and wrote that the state was a terrorist. Among the texts were also the demand that Zelenskiy speak about the film.
