A high-ranking officer of the country's security service, possibly Colonel Ivan Voronich, was killed at close range while leaving his home in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Official information was provided by the Ukrainian security service and national police. The incident occurred in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv.
When the police arrived at the scene, they found a man with serious injuries. It was determined that he had been shot five times from a firearm at close range.
According to some sources, although the exact name of the victim has not been disclosed, the BBC and former military officer Roman Chervinskiy confirm him as Colonel Ivan Ivanovich Voronich of the UXX. Chervinskiy emphasized that Voronich was active in one of the special directions posing a serious threat to Russia.
He wrote on social media that this loss is a personal heavy blow for him, stating that Voronich was not only a highly qualified specialist but also a devoted patriot. It is also speculated that the attack was carried out by a saboteur sent by the enemy.
Currently, an investigative team, rapid response group, criminal search units, and dog handlers are working at the scene. They are trying to identify the person who committed the murder and gather all related information.
This incident once again highlighted the seriousness of threats in the security sector and internal dangers in Ukraine. In particular, targeting high-ranking individuals responsible for ensuring state security could negatively impact the country's internal stability.
Investigation results and official conclusions are expected to be announced in the coming days.
