An internationally lauded journalist and opinion writer, Sheremet was killed in a car bomb explosion in Kyiv in April 2016. He was a longtime critic of Belarus President Aleksander Lukashenka, and investigations into his murder are ongoing. His death sparked international outrage, and despite multiple suspects and court hearings, the case remains unresolved. A 2022 documentary further examined the circumstances and investigative failures. The trial of the suspects was suspended in 2024 due to their Ukrainian military service.
