Ukraine’s Security Service said it shot and killed two suspected Russian operatives during a special operation in Kyiv Oblast on 13 July. The agency claims the pair were responsible for last week’s daylight murder of SBU Colonel Ivan Voronych in the capital. Voronych, a senior counter-intelligence officer, was gunned down on 10 July as he left a parking area in Kyiv. Surveillance footage showed the assailants, described by investigators as a man and a woman, firing several rounds from a pistol fitted with a silencer. SBU chief Vasyl Malyuk said the suspects were acting on instructions from Russia’s Federal Security Service. After agents traced their hideout, the two allegedly resisted arrest and were killed in the ensuing exchange of fire. A cache containing the murder weapon was recovered, the agency added. Ukrainian police assisted in the operation. Russian authorities have not commented on the allegations, which come amid intensified cross-border attacks in the fourth year of the war.
