During a special operation, the Security Service of Ukraine eliminated enemy agents who on orders of russia's federal security service murdered an SSU colonel in Kyiv.
The Head of the SSU, Lieutenant General Vasyl Maliuk personally led the special operation to find the killers of the Ukrainian defender.
'An FSB agent-combat group had been sent to Ukraine in advance and three days ago killed an SSU serviceman, our brother-in-arms, Colonel Ivan Voronych. As a result of covert search actions and active counterintelligence measures, the enemy's lair was uncovered. During their arrest, the perpetrators resisted and an exchange of fire ensued, resulting in their elimination. I want to remind you that the only prospect for the enemy on the territory of Ukraine is death!' said the SSU Head Vasyl Maliuk.
The Head of the Ukrainian security service also thanked the personnel of the National Police of Ukraine for their professionalism and support.
He stressed that effective counteraction to russian intelligence services is a key line of work for the Security Service. The SSU acts preemptively and prevents 85% of crimes that the adversary attempts to commit on the territory of our country.
According to the investigation, the murder of the Ukrainian defender was carried out by two people - a man and a woman. Their handler ordered them to follow the SSU serviceman, identify his daily schedule and routes. The russian handler then gave the killers the coordinates of the cache containing a pistol with a silencer.
After murdering the SSU colonel, the killers tried to lay low. But the SSU and the National Police established their location in Kyiv region. This morning, a special operation was carried out during which the members of the FSB agent-combat group resisted and were eliminated.
On Thursday, July 10, agents of russian special service killed a serviceman of the SSU in Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv. A criminal proceeding was opened under Article 348 of the CCU - attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, member of a civil formation for protection of public order and state border, or military personnel.
The operation was carried out under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine.
