Deadly shootout
A 20-year-old conscript of the National Guard, Artem Ryabchuk, opened fire on his fellow soldiers in the armoury of Ukraine's aerospace manufacturer Pivdenmash in the early hours of 27 January, killing five and wounding five others.
He fled the scene but later handed himself in to police on the outskirts of the city of Dnipro.
His motives are unknown.
The man is suspected of premeditated murder, defection, theft and appropriation of arms.

Reaction to German remark
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has reacted to a statement made by his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock that the issue of Ukraine's imminent accession to NATO was not on the agenda and that Russia knew about it.
In a Twitter post with a screenshot of the relevant headline, the foreign minister said that "it is not on the agenda to question the prospects of Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration."
"On the contrary, Germany's leadership in showing support for Ukraine's membership in NATO would be the real support for Ukraine now. This would be a positive signal for everyone," he said.
