"We are bracing for more bad news," NSW Premier Chris Minns told reporters at a press conference yesterday.

Alongside the undisguised delight in Portnov's death, there has been endless speculation over who was responsible."It could have been the Russians because he knew so many things," suggests legal expert Mykhailo Zhernakov.

"He was involved in so many shady Russian operations it could be them or other criminal groups. He managed to annoy a lot of people," he says.Despite the motives being clearer on this side of the border, Ukrainian security sources appear to be trying to distance themselves from the killing.Kyiv has previously carried out assassinations in Russian-occupied territory and in Russia itself, but not in Spain.

Some Spanish media reports suggest his murder was not political, but rather over "economic reasons or revenge"."You can imagine how many people need to be interrogated in order to narrow down the suspects," thinks Maskym Savchuk. "Because this person has a thousand and one enemies."

In Ukraine, Portnov is seen as someone who helped Russia form the foundations for its invasion. A once general dislike of him has only been intensified since 2022.

Despite this, Mykhailo Zhernakov hopes his death is also an opportunity for wider judicial reforms.After the attack, he left towards Dublin Street.

Police Scotland said door-to-door inquiries were continuing.Local residents and businesses have been urged to check storage areas or lock ups and to report any suspicious items or behaviours.

It's an interesting question – perhaps a little niche. But it's certainly not a question you'd expect to find a senior member of Kemi Badenoch's team openly pondering.The shadow cabinet minister went on to stress that they were more optimistic: that the resilience of what is often called the world's most successful political party should never be underestimated.
