Ukrainian SBU Colonel Shot Dead in Kyiv

News summary

Colonel Ivan Voronych, a senior officer in Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), was shot dead in broad daylight in a residential parking lot in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district. CCTV footage captured an unidentified assailant firing five shots with a silenced pistol before fleeing the scene on foot. Authorities have launched a criminal investigation, with both the SBU and National Police working jointly to apprehend the perpetrator and determine the circumstances. No suspects or motives have been officially identified, but some Ukrainian officials and commentators suggest possible Russian involvement due to Voronych's sabotage operations against Russia. The killing is the latest in a series of targeted attacks on Ukrainian security personnel since the Russian invasion. The incident highlights the elevated risks faced by Ukrainian intelligence officers amid ongoing conflict.
